Ah, it was subtly done.

Respectable bourgeois, who hated the Bolsheviki but had bought long ago the bonds of my country, desired to be repaid their debts out of the property of the Russian crown which might be found in the West.

But behind them were the Jews, and behind the Jews our unsleeping enemies.

Once I was enmeshed in the law I would be safe for them, and presently they would find the hiding-place of the treasure, and while the bourgeois were clamouring in the courts it would be safe in their pockets.

So I fled.
For months I have been fleeing and hiding.
