Why stole money? I hate when people see nice cars and just assume they were bought thanks to illegal traffics and so on... it's like probably just in 1% of the cases.. maybe less... |
I agree TT...

I disagree. 99% of very rich people from former USSR are rich because of stealing. one way or another. This is my opinion as well as credited lectures around the world universities. Even "lawful" privatizations were actually not "really legal". You foreigners may not know but the 1980s elite, i.e. people in access to state property.. well.. most of them are millionaires today, not because of good business intuitions or high educational level, but because managers from factory X made some agreements with managers from factory Z and so on... And this is true. Sure there are many hosest rich people also, but MOST of them got their beginnig funds to start their businesses ILLEGIMATELY. Go and study "transition economics" lectures at the local university and you will be surprised. I can recommend some books also. In english.

EDIT: actually, when i'd have billion dollars perhaps I'd buy one just in pure sence of owning this car... Nice to let drive myself home when drinking ina restaurant for example. |
I completely agree with you!!

Unfortunately, I also somewhat agree. Even with Russias Billionairs. Just recently, they have finally looked into Khodorkovsky's deals. Its a shame that he stole so much money from Russia.
Anyway, back to the Maybach. Lets see if that Maybach survives without getting hit by another car in the streets of Moscow

Haha, very typical for Russia. When you walk there, all you see is Mercedes S500, so was waiting for Maybach to show up there
