    Best option for non-US countries is to ban scrip currencies and illegal gambling.

    If the oligarch doesn’t immediately comply and starts parroting American-style “legal roleplay” polemics, put them on a wanted list and storm their yacht when it is in international waters.

      Valve doesn’t use any form of script currency tho. Everything is straight government currency.
