Why is there code in your thread?

Gg its fixed

Anyways, USA is another haven for Rich Pakistanis. Any rich Pakistani can go over there and be safe from Pakistan. The amount of investments and properties over there is unbelievable and USA supports these Rich Pakistanis as they are in a Capitalist Society. My Mamoo is an example. He cheated on my Family and fled with a lot of my family wealth to USA and then Canada. The Courts in Pakistan then dismissed the Case as he was in the USA.

Paid writer. India is trying hard to stop the IMF loan. He is a contributor.....Disclaimer says ideas are his not Forbes. Typical Americans don't care about IMF loans to developing countries.

We must agree that the writer is absolutely right about Pakistani elite. Use Pakistan to extract foreign aid [grants, loans, IMF etc], don't pay any taxes, use the poor and then take the money abroad to USA, Europe, UAE and invest there.

Yes. It is not inaccurate....but western nations encourage this. They can manipulate developing countries this way and get investment moneys. I recall an article in a western newspaper bragging that America is now an offshore tax haven for developing nations....mostly Chinese.
