If he took his payment in bitcoin in 2010 to stay off the grid, that guy is worth about 45 quadrillion dollars right now, even after the drop.

There is no way he didn’t take this money. He’s one of their least popular presidents ever and that is irrespective of this story. He had like a 12% approval rating at the end of his second term

If you are going to take a bribe from a drug kingpin, you should probably go large.

$100 million


Says a lot when the country's President doesn't even want his bribe money in his own country's currency.

Yeah, it’s “take this 100mm and live or turn it down and we will burn you and your entire family in a vat of acid.” Easy choice.

Did you even read the article? Allegedly the president asked for the bribe, and his first request was 250 million, the 100 was a counter offer.

Sounds like he’s a good negotiator. Always ask for way more than you’re willing to take.
