Don't you think they would get muscled out of these failed states if they don't pay up (lobby)?



They'd need to pay more than the other robbers, sure. Shouldn't really be a problem for them, though.

Something funny happens when the monetary contribution from a company to a country/government moves from millions to billions. It changes from a potential bribe that people want to keep quiet about to an investment that people want to boast about. And yet it's trivial to siphon between 10-70% of that "investment" into private pockets depending on the country.


Muscled out how? VPN’s are global...


Political problems can't be solved with tech. VPN won't help when someone decide to put you in prison for using illegal crypto.


Yet it occurs...globally...

Proxies too. Teenagers install proxy modules on their own phones and APs all the time across the globe. This “illegal crypto” is simple a series of mathematical algorithms.

You cannot truly “ban” math.
