I’ve seen this posted a bunch of times, all of them saying it’s a big deal. Which I guess means not that easy to fix.

Interesting/depressing thread on how the nuts and bolts of completely perverting the law works in Russia.

Maybe we can send a squadron of lawbros over to explain to them how to file HUGE motions in court that are GAMECHANGERS.

You can tell a lot about a country by their criminal justice system. I think Russia imprisons like the second most people per capita in the world, pretty horrific.

Perhaps (although it’s not really clear what the state of Ukrainian equipment is right now, at least to me). But if they can’t get supplies through, then it’s game over. And I don’t see how they can hope to control the territory their supplies need to pass over.

Did the Russian markets ever open back up?

Only the bond markets I think

And just the market for Russia government bonds, last I saw.

So, BONKS?

True, much better to be shot in the back and thrown in a ditch than stay in prison!

They have a very attractive yield!

Imaging this said with a Russian accent is key.

Yeah, but okay. Is attractive yield.
