And when the controllers are competent, you can hide maybe small things, but not big operations as they need big money. (and as I said, when there is black money, it is a different story)

- hutzlibu 9y agoWell, it is possible to change that, right? Might be much harder for you in the US, also because of the whole black money thing (CIA and cocaine), but in general it is possible.
- wu-ikkyu 9y agoNo, it doesn't seem very possible to accurately audit trillions of dollars of transactions in the biggest and most secretive organization in history. They've been trying for almost 30 years now to no avail, all the while their budget and power have been increasing.
