There are fairly easy ways to get around this. Everyone says they never pay ransoms, but they mostly do. It is not a ransom, but you hire some cousin to do a not existing project etc. These things happens in parts of the world where transparency is not a top priority.
- ryandrake 6y agoHow does this fool even a semi-competent lawman? “Oh, officer, I never bought drugs. That’s totally illegal. I just left money in a box that my cousin picked up, and a few days later the drugs just appeared there. Totally not, myself buying drugs, though!”
- renewiltord 6y agoBecause for drugs, the semi-competent lawman goes after you. If it's for my child's life, there's no point going after me. I'd go to prison for life for that. You can't apply prison as a deterrent, you can't use it to prevent me from harming others, and honestly, you can relate to me.
