You have a lot of trust in people. There are plenty of politicians with financial crime convictions and organised crime ties.

Sure, but even looking at the most corrupt, they have little incentive to enable fraud, crime, and tax evasion by people they're not already in mutually beneficial arrangements with, and none to enable it for people who won't give them a cut.

Do you want to give them a cut?

Cough… wirecard… cough.
