The muted motivation (we seem to have similar, or maybe even the same employer) seems like plausible deniability for when the whole thing blows up. In the meantime, they had to "do the favor" to keep cozy with the deep state and keep their first-dibs status on freshly printed money. I would argue that making the conscious decision to engage in the con is more contemptible than honestly and enthusiastically being on board with the whole thing. I hope Denninger is right and they pay dearly for their choice.
