eplay I have a feeling money laundering must be going on on a gigantic scale, as paper runs and tries to be capitalized in hard assets wherever it can.

Not the usual capital flight like Iranians, Russians and Iraqis stashing up in U.A.E or some Brits buying propert abroad or putting money in Luxembourg.

give you an example: Just now a Indian had opened a human hair importing and distribution on Curitiba. The human hair comes from India. A big customer is Angola.

As you know women spend money putting human long hair attached to their negro hair.
That could be seen a normal business. But a few things don't add up. Brazil has very clumsy and idiotic business laws and its import-export regulations are daunting. Brazil it not the natural place for this kind of business.
Second he also -for good measure- splashed a few million BRL on a restaurant. Has posh house with Ferrai and Porsche in the garage.

Note that is OK for people with lots of money. But in Brazil -not even in Curitiba- you flaunt your moolah like that. Thus pointing to a noveaux riche guy, finally spending the money running away form somewhere.

The wayo watcher must be always aware!!!!
