      Big flaky misinvoicing numbers now seen as argument against aid. "Poor countries dont need charity". Because illicit financial flows..!https://twitter.com/guardian/status/820210337513357313 …

      but your "$1 in $24 dollars out" includes China, Russia, Saudia Arabia, Kuwait, Malaysia on the 'out' side?

      Yes, correct. For every dollar of aid the developing world receives, they lose $24 in net outflows. It is an aggregate figure.

      meaningless though: Aggregating small/poorer economies & large economies/ non aid recipients into 'they'

      My own country of Swaziland: $100mn in aid, $600mn in illicit outflows.

      I know very little about this, but am interested. How confident are we about the size of these illicit flows?

      even if smaller than some estimate, is it possible that illicit outflows are larger than aid inflows?

      In some countries certainly. But are different things - one is public money, other can be private. Its not a good comparator

      does that matter? @jasonhickel says rich countries present selves as providing 'charity', while abetting & profitting from IFFs?

      I think better to get to specifics e.g. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/30/business/justice-department-tries-to-shield-repatriations-from-kleptocrats.html?_r=0 … rather than are we 'the good guys' or 'the bad guys'
