Yep. I mean these guys are protected at the highest levels by banks and intel agencies. I’m not convinced this doofus, who called himself “Kash”, had any real cash or was leading shit.

75 grand in fines is a pretty laughable attempt by law enforcement who by and large seems to have “failed” to find the actual boss.

You're distinguishing between corporate and national actors in a way that I don't understand. The gulf between "making the extra dollar" and "making the whole world" is not as great as you might think it is, especially in this particular stage of capitalism and regulatory capture.

Sadly, no matter how skilled and equipped the Ukrainian military is, it's still incredibly draining on both resources and the actual people to continue fighting for so long at such intensity. Hopefully those that need it are getting at least small breaks or are cycling out for a couple days, stuff like that can have a huge impact on performance/moral over the long term. That being said, in some situations there's simply not much you can do, especially if the enemy is continuously throwing human wave attacks. Still, Ukraine is performing amazingly all things considered, just need to keep the intel, resources and support flowing.

No, court fines are imposed when you do something illegal. Not the same as not paying cc bills. Dude dealt drugs, got caught and got nailed. Would it be bad if they sicced the IRS on him to audit him and nail him for tax evasion for not paying taxes on his drug earnings? Like how they nailed Capone?

I'd say that's how you handle drug dealers. Put IRS auditors on them and see what's what.
