That's kind of the point - hold the 'foreign aid' funds from the nation, until said nation does something to combat the fraud.
You can't actively police your laws inside a foreign nation, but with some level of control (i.e. $793M/a in "foreign aid" held over their heads), you can tell the nation what you want them to do about things affecting you. Chances are good they're going to comply.
- foolmeonce 6y agoIf we accept the assumption that $36b really is in actual Nigeria based scammers, and the government were able to comply and threatened or started to comply, they could also tax scam income 2.5% for government to have the same funds from this one scam alone. But without taxing scams directly, there are massive trickle down effects that probably amount to more than 2.5% being siphoned off to taxes.
