I dont know of any other industry that the regulatory body starts with that much capital. Its interesting how they always say its not about the money, but then we start seeing numbers like these at the beginning, we KNOW its ALL about the MONEY!

ahhh money... makes otherwise "moral" people abandon their stance when it starts to benefits them. The money was always there, but now some smart people realized they could divert it from the black market into the cities' treasury.

Moral is in quotes since it is a subjective term and can mean many different things to different people.
