>I don't think it has much to do with that. Sure it does; Russian police do nothing about credit card theft because (and to the point that) that money is ultimately coming out of Western pockets ( [VIDEO] ). Same as the North Koreans with their industrial-level counterfeiting of USD (to name one example), for the same reasons. Might as well be an unofficial letter of marque.
