Buying jewels "on credit" = money/bribe laundering? Jeb? Newt?

[elehhhhna]

Something about wealthy political powerhouse men buying jewels on credit sends a shiver up my bullshit detector.

Y'all DO know that buying things "on credit" and having others pay the bill is a way of collecting an under-the-table payoff. It's actually a cleaner transaction than having your benefactor give you a cash "loan" then quietly cancelling the repayment. Now that offshore accounts are being scrutinized one simply cannot rely on direct-deposit...




Is this too "creative" for GD?

1. No it's not CS. This is the way the 0.01 rolls, cheat-lie-steal-abuse.

2. Maybe, except $42k is chump change for the Bushes. More likely that Columba is

hiding her shopaholic tendencies from Jebby so he doesn't get mad again. She must blow thru her monthly allowance something fierce.

3. interesting. I thought they only sold millions of crappy ebooks to launder bribe money.
