    I don’t think there’s ever been smart ones… They constantly have to scapegoat someone lest the rabble finds out they’re just pilfering the country and everything is collapsing.

        Easy. By intentionally bankrupting it through a Russian money laundering scheme and passing the debts on to your investors. And it’s easy to get investors for a casino because the only way a casino doesn’t make money is if you intentionally bankrupt it. QED.

          Now that’s something altogether different. I’ve heard it said before, but haven’t seen any really detailed report about it. If true, I want to know more, is there any source to the allegations? It’s plausible, absolutely, and if true would lend credence to accusations of Russian interference in the U.S. elections using Trump as an asset.

        I’ll give you that. He’s an advanced level of stupid that I’m surprised he has any amount of influence at all…

      That makes them smart.

      – victims of these conmen tricked into supporting them because they believe that they’ll benefit from the conmen getting power.
