Is really pulling their strings.

Some of the players (trump) are too dumb. Many of the others will keep being played as long as the money is flowing.

How much of the money flow is made up of non-valid currencies? I can't imagine it would be that difficult for a state actor or a large corporation to print bills, fake certificates, etc. without being caught. I had heard that Iran (or Iraq?) had very sophisticated minting operations. And the Russian contributions? There's no way they aren't playing directly in the banking systems including SWIFT.

So, only suckers pay taxes. Most of the nodes on your graphs don't have to bother, or if they do it's a fun exercise in cheating. Or if they get caught by some over-zealous bureaucrat, you know who'll lose that battle.
