Until millions of people from Iran, Pakistan, Russia, Palestinians and other countries are on the same terms of money transactions as Americans everywhere, of course it is. Otherwise it's a huge inequality to make business worldwide.

I remember there were articles describing that the ring is used as a spying network which snitches their camera/audio content to the police.
