    A LOT of cyber criminals never get caught, and on top of that they usually live in a different country, so even if they get caught there’s no way for the german state of ever accessing their assets.

      Wouldn’t interpol be the ones to get involved catching these guys?

      I mean, if Germany is losing 200 billion, they should be able to invest a few billion to really step up efforts to catch these guys.

      Either way, not doing anything is going to bankrupt the country if this continues.
