What was the whole deal?  Guess $340m times 10, giving you over $3bn; or add two more zeroes for over $3 trillion.  Be my guest.

 Now just think about it; it’s all over in days.  Money flashes over the Internet in mille-seconds.  However, think about the logistics for the “crime” and the hardware required to move the bounty for which the little fine is offered to squash prosecution for the crime.

 A last question, please?  Why don’t we hear a word from Russia and China?  Well, their minds may perhaps be occupied elsewhere.

 Maybe they are thinking how long America can survive a Free Internet, or maybe even where to hoist their flags when they drop over to announce for the World to see the expansion of their property.
