Problem is that most if not all of the tax evasion, money laundering and white collar crime happening today is being done so 100% legally.
Also prosecutors seems to not have much success in the courts at getting criminal charges to stick. Hence why they favour settlements or civil charges.
- pphysch 6y ago"Legally" is an empty word when we are talking about US foreign policy, unfortunately.
- teuna 6y agoThe recent acquisition of Alstom by GE is just another example and a pretty serious one
- president 6y agoSo your point is that US is evil/lawless when it comes to FP and other nations aren't? So how do you feel about China's militarization of the South China Seas and debt trap diplomacy of poor African nations via the Belt and Road Initative? Powerful nations all became powerful nations by being dicks. The same works with politics, corporations, org charts, and all other power structures in nature.
- pphysch 6y agoWhy must you bring morality into the discussion? On that note, China's so-called "debt trap" AKA foreign infrastructure investment is massively preferable to the looting, raping (literal and environmental), and bombing that is synonymous with Euro-American colonialist practices. In my humble opinion. Imperialism/colonialism is always bad for The People but some forms are better than others in terms of human rights.
