Sanctions will just hurt people that had nothing at all to do with this. No one is really exploiting anyone there. The City attempted, during the boom, to attract the wealthy, it really did not work. There are scant few wealthy people there, most are working class or working poor. The government is not functional, but it never was any better, and probably used to be worse.

The prosecutor needs to get about it before a great deal more damage is done.
