Perhaps one might assume that operating in Belarus and selling illegal unregistered investment securities to non-qualified USA investors would be risk-free. Think again.

If you read it via Google Translate you wouldn't mention the law. Stop judging books by their titles.

If you trust a corrupt regime to not sell you to the USA government, then I think you don't understand how rule by criminality works. That is unless you can pay a larger bribe.

My point is once someone heads down the path of unethical choices, there is no turning away from criminality. They enter the dark underworld. The criminal mindset doesn't compute this probability correctly. I am speaking in generalities in this paragraph and not making an accusation.

In order for Communism to flourish, the population must also support criminality. The Bible speaks about this.

Proverbs 1:11-19New International Version (NIV)

11 If they say, Come along with us;
lets lie in wait for innocent blood,
lets ambush some harmless soul;
12 lets swallow them alive, like the grave,
and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
13 we will get all sorts of valuable things
and fill our houses with plunder;
14 cast lots with us;
we will all share the loot
15 my son, do not go along with them,
do not set foot on their paths;
16 for their feet rush into evil,
they are swift to shed blood.
17 How useless to spread a net
where every bird can see it!
18 These men lie in wait for their own blood;
they ambush only themselves!
19 Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain;
it takes away the life of those who get it.
