"this kind of guerrilla journalism doesn't work for me"
FUCKING BETTER NOT.
The days are OVER when you can expect not to get jumped by a REAL JOURNALIST like paparazzi but asking you about CRIMINAL intent and THEFT and more.
Good show, Greg

holy crap Greg, you went to Bosnia and the Congo on the cheap to cover this ... I haven't seen actual real journalist reporting like this in more than 10 years.

@theoriginalanomaly the money ultimately comes from western tax payers

In fact the debt was originally held by Bosnia which is in dire need of the funds as well. Of course 100mil would help the Congo... Again goes back to the corruption of power. If these vulture didn't get them then others would. To put a stop to it you go to the source. I am quite sure these reporters do not give 100mil to Congo either. Shame on them. Besides the debt was taken on by the Congo. If they want to continue to borrow they'd have to pay their debts.

I think the vulture funds are immoral... however, I am surprised that they are getting the brunt of this attack. Immoral or moral the debts were purchased. The fact that the Congo or Bosnia went to war doesn't mean they shouldn't be held to their debts. That's silly the US wouldn't have any debt if that was the case. The real culprit of all of this is the Gov't's of Bosnia and the Congo. And to argue that since 100mil would do so much in Congo isn't a real argument about collecting debts.
