Me:

Nothing that can be traced back to him, that's for sure.  I think he 
spends most of his time buttering up various powerful people, doling 
out portions of the family fortune in places where it will be 
noticed, and trading in illegal poisons, blackmarket non-tradeable 
goods of various sorts, and maybe arranging the odd assassination.  
You know, just the usual sort of activities for a wealthy, high-born 
villain. ;)
