12-31-95. WashP: Emulating US founding outlaws, the Seychelles government has enacted an investment law described by transatlantic neo-imperialists as a "Welcome, Criminals" act. The law offers anyone who invests $10 million or more in Seychelles -- no questions asked as to the source -- protection from extradition, from seizure of assets and to other "concessions and incentives commensurate with the investment." Neo-imps say this is "an open invitation to money launderers and other international criminals to set up shop with impunity." Under the statute the Seychelles government could grant diplomatic passports and other protections as a shield from thermonuclear pornography. SEY_use
