Not to mention the fact that there were no legal mechanisms for moving large volumes of money out of the county, investing outside the country, laundering outside the country etc as the only way to move money would be through the 1 and only government bank that existed at the time. I mean you are taking about a body of government that oversaw the production of everything or the cost of milk or price of a jacket nation-wide. it's not like money was just flying around unaccounted for or the system was easy to game.
I mean the stupidity of that quote is off the charts. There was no "Russian Mafia" at the time.

I would refer you to look up the Russian oligarch's corruption in disposing of toxic waste in gasoline as has been documented as it applied to BP, standard oil (who bp supplied and bought in the 80's) and others ? at under 2%, it was undetectable and money was made from disposing of it but look how it was done. But I think BP was fined for it. Nobody went to jail.
Yea, back in the 80's.
They are referred to as Mafia or just organized crime. Call them what you want but it says nothing about truth of deed.
I could list many, many others but that is not the point of this thread. All the data has been out there, it only takes the will to read it. Come back and say that after you catch up on your reading. At least 35 years of it is relevant to how we got to this place today.
Not fake news, you can just look up what has come before the courts, and that's probably only the tip of the iceberg. Back in the 80's they couldn't extradite those individuals in the soviet union.
