Atlantic article about kelptocracy: "The (wealthy) Russians have been coming and coming still with their money!"

In the Atlantic magazine February, 2019 issue, the article by Franklin Foer "Russian-Style Keptocracy Is Infiltrating America" appeared.  It alludes to the fact that since the fall of the Russian Empire in the early 1990s, the wealthy class of Russia has slowly been emigrating to foreign lands for permanent residence, including to the US.  And, I've, myself, seen colonies of Russians here in the states in such places as Santa Barbara, California; Sacramento, Los Angeles, Reno, DC; and Omaha, Nebraska!

When the Russians reach here, they naturally look for places to stash their cash.  The article points out that the most likely professionals they contact here are investment counseling and real estate brokers. Naturally, they go to these people, hoping that they can find ways to minimize their tax liabilities and maximize their chances to increase their fortunes.  Came to my mind, as I read on, was the name Paul Manafort, the former Campaign Manager for President Trump. He had financial dealings with Russian aristocrats; and wasn't he into investment brokering?  Anyway, I imagined these emigres would seek out business people in the US that had clients also back home in Russia.  And I suspect that these investment bankers in the States would do all they could to make a profit both for some Russian client now living here and themselves--whether or not it would take clever machinations in politics and finance to assure the financial transactions were legal; and even if a keptocarcy were seeping onto the halls of Congress and into the woodwork of various departments of the Administration.
