They go on       vacation and stay on vacation. Their children go to schools in the West, and       these ultra-rich Russians try to get as much of their wealth as possible       outside Russia.              I don't blame them. The number of influential Russians who have fallen from       windows in recent years is enormous. And these are just the cases we've       noticed in the West.              As a wealthy Russian, you certainly realize that there's no way to earn a       living in Russia right now. So why stay?              You use your influence to get your capital in cash and you send it to more       pleasant places.              Just don't get picked off at the border, because then you're in trouble.              Putin isn't keen on them leaving. Putin is therefore trying to keep up the       pressure and threatens to confiscate their assets... Which only increases the       pressure on others to leave. After all, why wouldn't I be the next to lose my       home and hearth, and perhaps even my life? Confidence in Putin is gone. The       deal he made with the ultra-rich Russians is off the table; it's every man for       himself now.              Things aren't going well in Russia; that much is already very clear.               .       --- SBBSecho 3.30-Linux        * Origin: End Of The Line BBS - endofthelinebbs.com (1:124/5016)       SEEN-BY: 4/0 88/0 90/0 93/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/0 5016 128/187       SEEN-BY: 129/14 305 153/757 7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0       SEEN-BY: 221/6 226/30 227/114 229/110 206 300 307 317 400 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/470 700 705 240/1120 5832 263/1 266/512 280/464 5003       SEEN-BY: 280/5006 291/111 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 341/66 200 203 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 467/888       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 770/1 880/1 900/0 102 106 902/0 19 26 904/0       SEEN-BY: 904/13 905/0 5019/40 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 124/5016 280/464 341/66 902/26 229/426           |
