Check out the Aussie mafia in Silicon Valley. I'd never heard of the term until I visited one of my techie mates in Sydney, but this story in the smh corroborates it: http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/gold-diggers-aussies-strike-it-rich-in-silicon-valley-20110915-1kaoe.html <br /><br />My question would be this: Why would you go to a country that's $15 trillion in debt - and that's just the federal stuff - unless it was easier to raise money there than in your own country? <br /><br />Cheap capital, brought to you by the Fed. Check these numbers out. Simply staggering: http://www.shadowstats.com/charts/monetary-base-money-supplyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
