      Even worse. How does one bankrupt a Russian money laundering operation? You’d think they would do their best to keep that shit running.

        I think they intentionally go out of business before the Feds have a chance to investigate it.

          Absolutely not. Bankruptcy proceedings get your financial records gone over with a fine tooth comb. You need to keep your cover business healthy within reason to fly under the radar. You didn’t see the mob casinos going bankrupt.

          They were actually fined for undeclared foreign transactions, but it was during their bankruptcy so it got mostly ignored by history
