In your rush to condemnation, you've missed that I specifically mentioned that we followed anti money-laundering laws. Also none of the people we worked with had been convicted for drug dealing.
You are clearly uncomfortable with your own choices in the original post. It's laundering. Legal or not the choices you made were unethical.
“We believe there should be a huge area between everything you should do and everything you can do without getting into legal trouble. I don’t think you should come anywhere near that line.”
-Charlie Munger
Your choices, your life, don't expect me to celebrate or make excuses for it.
Just because the financial system is global, it does not mean you have to launder money for drug dealers or other people with shady morals.
“The business needed the investment” is just code for you desiring an X-figure paycheck.
The other corollary of this - should we really be surprised that an anti-globalist like Trump is in power with lax attitudes such as the above?
