Comment on Who Runs the Ransomware Group ‘The Gentlemen?’ by Just some guy

In reply to Kaur Virunurm.

I think it most definitely matters where in Russia (or let's be honest, here, what country near Russia) you are taking about. I think it is dangerous to confuse "low corruption" with "a different sort of corruption", also. It is shocking how many ignorant people think Ukraine is or was less corrupt, for instance, or really, most any country in Central or Eastern Europe. Might make more sense to judge corruption by whether you wind up getting what you paid for (be it in money, favour, or just looking the other way). Some "corrupt" places, you get treated more fairly than some places people deem 'fair'. Better a mechanism to work around corruption and bias, to some people, than no recompense or recourse. It might cost, but better that than no alternative.
