>Anybody who owns a legitimate business in India has no reason to do this.

Really? So none of the rich folks in India send their kids to college in the US or Europe? None of them own homes or boats or cars in those countries? They have no reason AT ALL to extract capital from India besides bribes?

While I won't even begin to try to claim India doesn't have a ton of issues socially, trying to claim anyone moving capital elsewhere made the money illegally seems like more than a bit of a stretch.

It's about scale.

They are not going to sweat over some one eating candy when there's gigatons of sugar smuggling going around.

But your comment made no mention of scale. You said anyone moving money was participating in illegal activities. Now you're just trying to move the goal posts.

If you're going to make definitive statements like:

>Anybody who owns a legitimate business in India has no reason to do this.

>The only people in India who could do this are bribe makers, and the ecosystem around that

Then you better be prepared to back them up or apologize for making broad statements that you have no intention of standing behind.

You win. No more debate with you.
