I believe they earned their money perfectly legitimately - it is just the
end use of the accumulated wealth you have an issue with...
I mean if you look at say, something like Gazprom or CNPC, and you look at
Koch Industries, there is no doubt in my mind which has made its money more
legitimately.
Except, of course, the earnings from companies like the former two keep
Leica afloat! (-:
