ELI5 How do rich people just hide their money in offshore bank accounts? Do they just call up the bank and say I want transfer such and money? How come the original bank doesn't catch on?

    Just to be clear, it’s not like the bank explicitly says “yeah, we’ll hide your money for x%”

    Banks make money on fees, active management of investments, etc.

    The entire issue is that half the country wants to gerrymander and the other half wants to take the high ground, kneecapping their own progress

    Looking past how poorly written it is, it's just a naive idea.

    Nothing like now though. There’s a clear difference. He would pivot, but now he seems lost

    I think the idea from the article was that all the info in the profile had been previously breached and leaked, so anyone could have made the profile

    I think the more important question is “why is that relevant?”

    I’m not seeing anything that says Rite-Aid sells it in states with a ban. Not in your article or anywhere else (in 3 minutes of trying to google it)
