Yeah he's basically riding the tiger, if he gets off the tiger will eat him. The tiger in this case being whichever the next strongman is, though as far as I know there's no obvious successor. So he'll be super rich until he isn't, and at that point I guess the best he can hope for is that his kids are overseas with a lot of stolen money in cayman islands bank accounts.

Moon Atari posted:In America corruption is accepted to such a degree that it is officially legalised and normalised to the point where you don't even recognise it as corruption. Of course this is true of pretty much every country, but America is the world leader in western democracies going to complete poo poo despite having insane amounts of wealth, so the corruption is harder to ignore. Honestly the most shocking thing about American corruption is how cheaply our politicians sell themselves. Look at the amounts tiny amounts corporations donate and pay to lobbyists, and they get to write their own legislation in return. Hell, the Clintons are only worth ~$110 million, and that's the combined payback for 8 years of president Bill and the down payment on 8 years of president Hillary. The amounts are trivial.
