They even raise money from investors to win the bribe auction.

You still have to audit the assets they represent. You can just mess with the sensors, bribe the auditors, fake the records, etc., and even more realistically the org isn't even going to allow these systems to happen if they mess with their kleptocracy.

I pitched a Gray New Deal to a few NYC commissioners a few years ago . Someone at NYC department of IT is working on a citywide asset ledger
