> Third world banks still care about where your money comes from

They care even less than banks used by mobs owning half of Piccadilly, and those are not third world banks, but first world's most biggest, and most powerful ones.

> you’re almost certainly violating the law.

At least in Russia, you aren't. No provable damages = no charge. And even if it is, only "aggravated, and particularly large fraud" carries a criminal sentence.

> Good luck financing protests in Canada with that.

If you haven't been reading news as of last half a decade, "money in bags" worked spectacularly well for KGB financing political opposition in the West.

> Bullshit

Do not swear

Apples and oranges. Truck protestors are nothing like the ”mobs” you speak of.

Even if that’s the whole story, you still haven’t solved the problem of getting the money out of Russia.

The KGB has not even existed for multiple decades.

KGB lives, merged with mafia, and now owns a whole nuclear state after a few rebrandings.

Why can’t we just refer to things with their real names instead of playing games?

Does the story just fall apart when “the mob” is revealed to be people like Chichvarkin?
