Billion dollar bribes? Wow

If I took a 4 billion dollar bribe I’d be in a nonextradition country with all that in Bitcoin.

Hell 1 billion in Bitcoin and allow them to sieze 2 billion, make them happy. Hell. 1 billion in Bitcoin, 2 billion in bribing people to not snitch on me, and 1 billion in investments

“The former prime minister is in India, having fled there from Bangladesh in August after her security forces killed hundreds of civilians during violent anti-corruption demonstrations.”

Perhaps she misunderstood the assignment as upping the ante on corruption.

Clearly doing her best to keep all that dirty money from being used to bribe other officials.

Finally, politician selling themselves out for a proper amount.

It’s embarrassing how little a politician costs.
