      Also remember that he failed to sell steaks and alcohol to Americans. 2 separate companies with one product each that we can’t get enough of and they both went under.

      He is not good at managing large organisations, he will use the US to enrich himself and later probably flee to russia.

      So here’s the thing, I am 99.99% with you on your sentiment.

      But then I have to ask myself, “HOW TF is that even possible? Or was there more to it? Was that the plan ? Did he gain something bigger from doing it?”

      I’m not saying he’s some genius we just can’t comprehend. I’m saying he’s a criminal and I wouldn’t put anything off the table.

      But yeah, he’s probably just that shitty at business; but still? I hate this timeline.

        He probably just gave himself a high salary, got even more richer than later declare casinos bankrupt. bank loans, his investors, vendors, staff lose, and he wins. He moves on to the next target. now his target is USA.

      So I havent looked into this at all. Is it possible the bankruptcy was a way for him to steal his investors money and get away with it?
