Knowing how corrupt the Russian government is I'm certain this new electronic payment system will be... As Borat would say, a great success...

As opposed to the stagnant duopoly VISA/MasterCard, who routinely manage to find ways to stiff their merchants with fines, fees and who are deeply in bed with US politicians? As opposed to PayPal that routinely seizes funds for no reason at all?

What kind of corruption are you afraid of, that the world doesn't already have to deal with?
