  1. just watched the video Londromat posted, then read this .. That’s so unbelievable, a surreal story similar to monty pyton but it seems real .. how could they get their hands on all these .. and the Russian just let them?? That’s so crazy .. can one bring 200 or how many people, all of that bunch, to court or to La Hague? .. I wish they all play in pedestrian zones crappy music or clean toilets to pay that .. the next 20 years or so.

  2. >”Despite its Russian tally estimate, the SBA stressed that this was small compared to overall assets held in Switzerland, which has been regarded by generations of wealthy individuals from around the world as a safe haven for their money.”

    The question is – why does one need a safe haven for their money. From having your money seized unlawfully? Seized unlawfully by the government? Then what kind of government is it – surely not democratic ones? So, who has the incentive for this secrecy? And why does Switzerland enable it?
