Sir, clearly you can see how the topics relate. If the government wanted us to know every aspect of the strategic way they are running our country. Then we would all know the answers and no question is necessary.
but of course everything requires a little research. if you are that desperate for some answers i suggest www.dogpile.com or www.google.com and start looking.
as far as the ICJ issue. once more information is available i will distribute as always.

Malachai, I see no reason to get so hot-headed about this. Everyone else is discussing in an even-temperament. So far, you keep saying, YOU researched, YOU found no evidence. Apparently, as my GF would say, "Where there's smoke, there's fire!" Maybe someone is trying to make money from selling the story. But that would seem foolish, when so much of it is freely available. Wouldn't you think?

This story seems to pop up now and then as the reason for almost anything.
The fact is the whole story is utterly factually impossible. There was no way to make money from the collapsing Soviet currency because it wasn't traded anywhere.

How can you earn a 30,000% return on an investment that never appreciated?

May I ask why it is so important to you that we not believe the Wanta story? I understand the other side pretty well. But I'd like to hear yours.

No it wasn't. There were no currency exchanges or any derivatives based on the ruble anywhere.
The USSR would exchange small amounts of currency for dollars or other hard currency for the few people they allowed to travel overseas, but there was never an open market that traded any Soviet ruble denominated products.
