Just asking for a friend. Are CIA and NSA salaries being paid by the systems that are being fraudited right now? Does this extend to payments to intermediaries inclusive of foreign intermediaries / banks?
I think the nasty parts of the TLAs will be fine with just the money they make off drugs, human trafficking and so on. I assume there are a significant number of "straight" employees that would be fucked by the whole system blowing up, but maybe they'd just pay them with cash too. AFAIK it's still legal to pay people that way as long as they get a proper pay slip with the cash envelope. Alternatively they might move them to contractor positions in regime-friendly firms.
But not realistically it seems like the goal is to be more targeted: pay your shooters, cut off your enemies'.
