5 (five) billion euros scam recipe
















Ingredients:

- one rundown public company (we used Belgrade harbor)
- few local multi millionaires hidden behind a foreign company
- one foreign company
- 50 million euros
- lots of corrupt politicians and city officials
Preparation:
Buy one rundown public company with 200 acres of land, less than a mile from the city core. Do it over the anonymous foreign company so that real owners/buyers stay hidden. Pay the land 50 instead of between 500 million and 1 billion euros. Bribe to taste. Let rise for few months, than wait for the urban general plan to change, so that the purpose of your land is changed from industrial to commercial/residential. Again, bribe to taste. Tear down old outdated machinery and warehouses, build 22.000.000 square feet of shopping malls, residential buildings, office spaces, recreation spaces and sell it all for 5 billion euros. Serve with chilled champagne.
