> "in ROMANIA which is a third world country"

Classic.

No matter how powerful the infrastructure or skilled the local personnel, some countries are doomed to be put always in the same bucket by certain people from certain other countries.



Can't even use the "Clearly they were using the cold war era definition" excuse, as Romania would be a second world country by that definition.


> a third world country that may state they take privacy seriously but as the old saying goes “shit walks, money talks”

You didn't even have to read that much into the article to spot the ignorance. Whether by gun, "law", or money, there's no place where your data untouchable. But you could have stopped right here:

> This is an ENTERPRISE MILITARY GRADE Encrypted setup.

The famed "military encryption".


Romania is a very interesting place. An Bucharest, "The Paris of the East" must not be afraid compared to Prague or Budapest.

Estonia, is a third world country. Total breakdown of any governmental admiistration, corrupt etc. (dont ask how I know)


How do you know?


Because I lost all my saving there and was dealing with

1. The Police

2. The Financial Supervision of Estonia and Madis Reimand (Head of Estonian Financial Intelligence Unit)

Having worked for military and police enforcement in the US before, I can say with confidence: I you want to do a financial scam, do it in Estonia. Nobody will care. Seriously. (and dont worry, Madis knows who I am)
