I think that there is just a huge market for risky but non-crooked investments. Overseas markets are excellent for making money. Less regulation, lower salaries, etc. But the downside to a less overbearing government is that it's fairly easy for people with government connections to run off with your investment money if you're not watching. Western nations are just safer places to passively invest money.
