Bitcoin has died 442 times. Do they understand that USD 80M is peanuts? even for such a small country? Even in the small countries, 80M is not a significant amount, is more like a normal sized bribe for a state funded project. I would say that the entire ElSalvador move to bitcoin had the purpose to move the price up or down.
- inter_netuser 5y agoHow do you know that's like the normal size? Is there public research on that? (serious question, interested in studies on corruption)
- cosmin800 5y agoReading the past news from Romania would be enough for a research, the 'small fish' generally get convicted for 500k-5M EUR the big ones never get caught. You can google "romania 30 years of democracy" to get a background of the country and some information and then continue with all the material from 'recorder', most of the bribes come in form of contracts 'clanul marelui alb' is another good documentary centered on the corruption inside the Romanian Orthodox Church and how the bribes and kickback works.
- inter_netuser 5y agoseems in romanian? i'll need to locate subtitles to watch. Why would anyone bribe the Church tho? seems hilarious. Some kind of tax scams involving their tax-free status or they actually still have influence worth buying?
