Banker or Bunker?
During the dialogue between Emmit Stussy and V.M. Varga in Emmit's study in the Fargo season 3 episode "The Narrow Escape Problem", Varga lectures him on wealth and says something like
It's a banker in Wyoming and another in Gstaad.
I also searched online for transcripts and the one I was able to find confirms this.
However, I don't quite understand this dialogue. It seems to me like that should actually say "bunker" instead of "banker", since Varga also mentions "There's an accounting coming, Mr.Stussy" and "Mongol hordes descending" and "Now what are you doing to insulate yourself and your family?" right before that.
Could someone who has access to the official transcripts or subtitles (DVD/BluRay) confirm that he really says "banker" and explain what he actually wants to say with that line in this case?
Best Answer
It is confirmed by the French subtitles of Netflix:
C'est un banquier dans le Wyoming et un autre à Gstaad.
And by the French dubs from Netflix:
C'est un banquier ...
and by the English subtitles
It's a banker in Wyoming and another in Gstaad.
Then,
Gstaad is a well known snow resort in Switzerland where highly rich people like to go. Switzerland is also known as a tax heaven.
Wyoming his considered as a tax heaven and it has been revealed by Panama Papers that rich people might hide money.
Being a banker working at these two places means that not only being probably rich, a banker would also be working with a lot amounts of rich people's money, and be talented in managing it and protect it from Money Enforcement.
Varga is warning Stussy about the incoming of Money Enforcement and as a "small rich", Emmit is not used to deal with them and doesn't have the backup to manage this situation.
