Those things are of interest of dedicated agencies, my interests are mostly in financial fraud (HYIPs, money laundering).

Not to derail the thread, but in your estimate, what percentage of the underworld money is flowing through Perfect Money? It's safe from being shut down by the U.S. agencies since they don't officially accept U.S. clients, but they should be of great interest to the Russian law enforcement agencies.

I would say mostly all transactions on PM are questionable, underworld all the way.
Not likely Russians will cooperate with US in this matter, and US is powerless there. Also Russian authorities are unaware of PM being run from Moscow, or prefer to act like it. They do not care, do not see it as their problem, there is no corporation of any kind , nobody complained, everything is anonymous and in offshores.

As PM share in hyip market, pretty big, as you see Okpay, Payeer (also both russian) took some share , but PM is still big.
i would say #2 after Liberty Reserve.
