Wait until you find out that primer, as in a small tutorial or short teaching material, is pronounced with a short i sound like is found in "fin," "mix," and "fringe."

Mining rocks and killing bugs. Hey we all gotta make a living

Yeah, fuck EA. Even the Sims 3 which came out in 2009 is still $20 for just the base game. All 19 DLCs are also $20. But wait, you can get the game and all the DLC packaged in a bundle for the low low price of just $190 (on Steam).

Absolutely ridiculous even without considering that you need an EA account to play legitimately which is a whole other pile of crap.

The OP is intended to describe FF7 but tbh it also applies to 13, 12, 10 (although you're taking down megareligion instead of megacorporation), and possibly also 8 and 9 which I haven't played but have confirmed with light research that there are furries

There are indeed many forms of money laundering which are considered illegal in America, and it is absolutely illegal if someone is accepting funds derived from illicit activity or sanctioned entities (like Russia). The government and most financial institutions generally take the stance that there are very few good reasons to obscure the ultimate source of funds, and so tend to be very risk-averse with such activity.

The trick is in confirming anything illicit is going on when there are potentially dozens of steps and borders in between the source and the recipient.
