The liars, of course, have all moved on to new cons & deceptions. The fishing industry can't. A vaguely honest media would be holding Farage & the rest to account for this instead of promoting a meaningless petition...

Great to see the Foreign Secretary begin his campaign against Kleptocrats and dirty money. Next on the agenda should be stopping opaque trusts hiding property ownership, opening up company registers of the UK's offshore secrecy havens and clamping down on enablers. www.linkedin.com/posts/davidl...

Follow the big dirty money
The other exploding area of dark money in politics is the crypto lobby.

They have dumped insane sums in elections in both parties (Dem primaries + GOP general elections).

It’s pretty bad
It's called cryptocurrency, but new FDIC data shows that most Americans don't use it as currency—they mainly hold on to it for price gains, not for transfers or purchases.
