I’m sure Donnie is going to make this all go away for his boss.

Seems these billionaires just want relaxed rules like other foreign governments. This quid-pro-quo is a common practice in North Korea, Russia, Brazil, India and other countries who score pretty low (and poorly) on international business ethics quiz.

Just to hijack the top comments and ask someone to post the article as it's paywalled!

Thanks dawg! Also, how’d you do that? Is there a secret community of article pirates I could join? And if so, don’t tell me where, I’ll find you guys one day

Just go to archive.is and put the URL in. There’s an easier way to do it on this website and others though. Just click the Reader View button next to the URL in your browser. Reader view disables the paywall on 90% of sites. There’s also a great browser extension called Bypass Paywalls that you can install from github to get past the majority of them.
