> The rich guy in Russia most likely had his competitors killed, literally, and the police turned a blind eye. Denying this is ignoring how the post-communist countries work.

And the rich guy in the U.S. is a contractor for U.S. government that kills, torture, rape and is protected by the U.S. military when doing its "business" abroad, which basically is selling weapons to dictators and bringing gold back home.

Or laid off thousands of people, because billions aren't enough to live, and some of them got a gun and killed a bunch of innocent people.

Or it's just an old school colonialist

Even killing competitors KGB style looks good, when US pharmaceuticals companies are literally exploiting US citizens (and probably killing more than a few of them) for profit!

Probably I'm being downvoted because I forgot the good old Apple, that builds its iPhones at Foxconn, where workers commit suicide due to work conditions.

I'm sorry I forgot Steve Jobs, a brilliant "businessman", a man so "talented" that even his daughter despise him, for good reasons.
