Impressive scam! Simple, and they got €1 mil out of it before being discovered. If they were smart, which I will assume they weren’t, they could have that money in an offshore account and couldn’t be taken back by authorities. They’d maybe do some time or probation, then they could comfortably fuck off and live low key in some tropical third world country for the rest of their days if they budgeted well.
Need more than just a million to retire comfortably. Though, I guess if you did it on the cheap in a less developed country, it might be possible.
That truly depends on what you mean by “comfortably”. You can very easily survive the rest of your life “comfortably” on $1 million. Unless your definition of “comfort” includes a bunch of bullshit that you don’t actually need and arguably makes your life worse for you and shorter just because you’ve grown accustomed to it.
$1M is plenty.
If you want to own a house and a car in a developed country, with property taxes, insurance, house repairs, car repairs etc etc etc, $1M won’t cut it. If it was, I would have retired years ago.
You are wrong, but that’s okay.
Maybe if by “developed” you mean capitalistic.
a house and a car in a developed country, with property taxes, insurance, house repairs, car repairs etc etc etc
See, that’s your problem right there.
A 105" TV, a pool, a guest house, boat, new phones model every year, latest tech etc. How else do you live comfortably? /s

Yeah, just depositing the money into your account is surprisingly sloppy.
Vending machine business, that’s the way to go.
