  2. How do you think those oligarchs "acquired" their wealth?

  4. If that money was for "the people," then why was it not being put to use for "people dying from hunger and cold?" Why was it socked elsewhere?

    The US and Uk are okay with Russians not buying all the apartments in Miami, NY, and London as a way of hiding wealth from Putin. Those oligarchs should be fixing russia so that their wealth can be safe there.

    Agreed. And I am sure this is what they are going to do once their assets are unfrozen. I am just surprised Russia doesn't have any capital control and they can just let all those people put their money wherever they want. But then again, when you are rich enough, you can put your money anywhere you want, capital control or no capital control. China has one of the strictest capital control but look at these:

    I guess we will know what will happen to these assets when and if China invades Taiwan.

    You still own it? And property right? Do Afghanistan people still own their central bank assets? Now it is being used to pay the American families from the 911 law suits.
