As usual, it's all about the money. But not in the way we normally think of that. Money is complicated. You want to get invested money back eventually, plus some extra for your trouble. A return. Otherwise, it's better to just keep it in your proverbial mattress. That isn't happening in Venezuela for a number of reasons. Of course, that would have taken considerable forethought and planning. The demented old fool was never, ever known for that. And that's how he bankrupted casinos multiple times.
