The banks won't go after any third party like a charity. The bank will charge you with fraud and theft and a few other charges their layers will think of, ruin your credit score, seize all of your property, and ask you to kindly pay them back. If you can't pay them back then you will spend the rest of your life in jail. Oh, and before you get any ideas, your layer will be no match for their team of professionals.

I also need to add that, in Russia, they will also break a few bones to motivate you into paying them back.

u can't buy a whole country for 70 mil... an acre of beachfront property in florida can go for millions, no way a country would be 70 mil.

That would work, why don't we combine our 70 mils and buy Hilton International and British World Airways and we could travel anytime, any place, any where. We could buy rcrspeed3 a condo in Florida just to see him smile;)
