Throwaway here. I work for a large US investment company that has a lot of Russian assets and staff. They are sticking their fingers in their ears and not even discussing this. I expect the sanctions will have minimal effect because there is such a complex web of investments. Individual staff are discussing exiting the company regularly over it rather than profiting from blood money. That’s all we can do.

Of course, the prospect of personal enrichment is more important than millions of people losing their homes, homelands, loved ones and lives.

Which is why you stopped using any product coming from a country engaged with war, murder and torture? I think that is hard to do. It is also hard to punish a company for the actions of their government.
