no Trench, the secret to survival, is to stay small, and make OTHER PEOPLE MONEY, (which gives them an encentive to make you "off-limits") and meanwhile figure out ways to make money indirectly that doesn't come out of their pockets

hiding offshore income is NOW MUCH harder and takes much more work then it did under the Trump admin.
so it's the ideal retirement time for me
knowing when enough is enough, is important wisdom,
all the major fails I've seen in Russia are almost always about "over-reach"

Sounds strange to want to make other people money but I get where you're coming from, they are going to have interest in protecting you from others and not move against you. How you go about it I guess varies, I'm going to guess that we are not talking 'protection money' here as in a gangster racket. I'm going to guess perhaps (as you mentioned B2B) that you buy stuff off a big fish in the pond and then sell it on and make a profit. Hence as you are a good customer then they have interest in protecting you, am I right?

no, it's more complcated then that
I can't OWN ANYTHING more major there then a house in Russia, without incurring risk

you might say, I find ways to make myself useful
and can sometimes control the invoices of when they buy stuff...
so it's just not visible to them

this is standard practice for people high up in the Russian gov
they're the ones who TAUGHT ME!!

The can't own anything more than a house in Russia I get, similar to Ukraine. As if you have anything of any worth there people will go to take it from you.

The rest I'm not sure I totally get, it sounds like a dodgy accountant lol. I know the Russian Army came a cropper by corrupt Officials/Generals buying poor quality Chinese tyres rather than the decent ones they should have got and pocketing the difference, something like that?

or, if you supply a "commodity" unobtainable in Russia
that lets you set the "price"

then your profit is TRANSPARENT...
if you "do things right"
then to them, it feels like you're doin 'em a favor...

kinda like this
I found ways to make myself "useful"
which wasn't hard at all for me to do there...

Ah I see, I looked up stuff you can't get in Russia:

http://planetrussia.info/2015/07/31/things-you-can-not-buy-in-russia/

My guess it's not one of those on the list ;D

I'm going to guess maybe something more like Weed, legal in California but not so in Russia and from what I've read on Google not in widespread use out there.

Well up to you, it's not my scene as I prefer to stick to legal stuff to avoid issues as could end up more trouble than its worth.

Krim, I recall you said of recent that COVID hit you real hard even though you had 2 X 2 virus vaccinations. You may already know this but apparently using weed can suppress the immune system, hence why it may have hit you so hard, other than age of course ;D

Here's an article of many on it:
