(Because, after all, when have you really SEEN your money?).

I haven't of course, but in 500 franc notes it would look a pitiably miniscule pile of cash...

A Ponzi scheme or a Ponchi scheme?

In a Ponchi scheme, even the FIRST investor loses his money.
Subtle, but different

Isn't a ponzi scheme Darwinism for the investor set?

There is now way that anybody posing with a AK-47 or an AR-15 DOES NOT look like a psychopath.

I wonder if they can really put the screws on him.

I read about him the other day. Hopefully he flips on Maduro. And then I hope he gets put in gen pop in prison.

We were surprised (the Vennies around the world) that Maduro's nephews did not provide more dirt on Uncle. Now they will linger in prison for 25 years, the bulk of their youth.
This guy must have so much details on this bunch of criminals that I wonder if he even needs to spill half of it to cur a deal with the USA.
Personally: dreams of Room 101, a Dremel tool and plenty of salt. Oh, and pliers. Many pliers.

My guess is it works like the mafia. if you snitch, you end up in a ditch.

Most likely, but, they ensured themselves 25 years in a max security prison. Rather trust the US govt, cut a deal, and give a witness protection program a chance.
And the Govt here is not Russia (sorry about that). It is not as if Nicolas even knows about polonium 210, or tricks like that. Their power really ends at the border.

From what I read, he's going to need to sing like a canary to cut a decent deal. Whatever they are picking him up on now is small potatoes. They are hoping to flip him to help make a case for narco terrorism against Maduro.
