>So a really bright Chinese electronics or genetics whizz might borrow $2 million to buy one, move to USA, be hired to work for Apple or Complete Genomics, and invent the next big thing. The company might buy one for him and transfer ownership after an agreed time or producing the goods.>

He just needs a student visa. Less than $5,000 investment.

After graduation, companies hire such whizzes for $75,000 a year. Or you can get them for $25,000 in Bangalore or Mumbai or Moscow, if they decide not to emigrate.

>Citizenships could go to $10 million easily for good countries. There isn't really an upper limit. Utopia would be quite valuable.>

You call this guy bright? A guy who goes into 2 million debt to get a job in the US? This does sound like a bright guy.

How long it would take him to pay his 2 million debt plus the money he's got to send home to compensate his parents for getting a degree?
