If anyone with an American accent comes up to you at the bar in the next few days, asking where he might find Charlie Trie, be nice to him.
You might even want to buy him a drink; he may need it.
The man in question will either be an FBI agent or a Senate Governmental Affairs investigator - part of a team of six which is currently on a swing through Asia, including Hong Kong and Macau, hot on the quickly disappearing trail of the money men at the centre of the Democratic Party's fund-raising debacle.
Hong Kong is probably as close as the investigators will get to the man they would like, above all, to interview: Charles Yah Lin Trie, the Arkansas restaurateur and infamous Friend of Bill, the man whose fingers have touched at least several hundred thousand dollars of the cash which the Democrats have admitted was illegally donated to their campaign coffers last year.
Mr Trie is known to have left the US and by all accounts is lying low in China. The State Department was prodded by the Senate team to ask Beijing for permission to visit China to try to track down not only Mr Trie, but other names mentioned as part of the ever-expanding probe. China has, perhaps unsurprisingly, refused the request for agents to be allowed to do their sleuthing work on Chinese soil.
Apart from Mr Trie, the investigators had hoped to get the chance to have a word with Wang Jun, the chairman of CITIC, whose attendance at a White House coffee session in 1996 was seized on by the US media as a scandalous link between a Chinese 'arms dealer' and President Clinton. Mr Wang has explained that the only reason he was at the President's house in the first place was because our old friend Charlie Trie took him as a guest.
Nevertheless, the US visitors have plenty of work to do in Hong Kong, where a couple of Lippo Group subsidiary companies are on the list of organisations issued with subpoenas by the Senate committee requesting files and information on their links to Donorgate. Then there is Macau, where Ng Lap Seng, the real estate developer, runs the Fortuna Hotel and other concerns. Again, Mr Ng was introduced to the murky world of American politics by Mr Trie, and has admitted in interviews with the US media that he expected his donations to the Democrats to win him commercial access to American markets. At least one donation made by Mr Ng's firm in Little Rock has been found to violate the rules because the cash came from overseas.
