Thank you :)
Entire story (including the part not included that past instances of this money flow, from the same people, was sent to Moscow for safekeeping, and there was wiretapping of discussions about real estate purchases in Hong Kong) looks bogus to me.
Overall, this sort of thing is done with bitcoin and ethereum nowadays. Cash gets converted to bitcoin as fast as possible. Yes, the transfer to Moscow is juicy, but why bother? It’s rather a lot harder to get anti-corruption photos for . . . whoever’s consumption (probably EU) if the assets were in BTC.
