The chinese government is probably not interested enough in credit card numbers to warrant involvement.
- lmilcin 8y agoIt would be foolish to show your hand for few pennies.
- jandrese 8y agoMight make a difference if those pennies can't be tracked back to the government.
- malandrew 8y agoYup. This would be the modern equivalent of Air America and other schemes by the CIA to raise money to operate by involving themselves in illegal activity like the drug trade.
- jessaustin 8y agoOne would consider those activities to have taken place in "modern" times as well...
- acct1771 8y agoYou're not suggesting the CIA is out of the drug business...are you?
- jandrese 8y agoIran/Contra got the CIA into a lot of hot water with Congress. They had some pretty stringent restrictions put in place as a result. https://www.csmonitor.com/1987/1113/aintel.html https://www.csmonitor.com/1987/1113/aintel.html
- Nasrudith 8y agoPeople said the same thing about personal detail metadata as well. While theft would be foregone foolishness tracking transactions could have value to them. Granted it would probably be easier to snoop on the fiscal institutions.
