In the capitalist world that we live in, such things shouldn't surprise us at all.

Cigarette shops sell kids cigarettes without checking for ID. Heck doctors sell questionable products to helpless patrons. Facebook sells ads to politically motivated buyers without cross-checking who's buying.

The only thing that surprises me about this is that this leniency in vetting buyers potentially has an effect on who will remain in power and so should be a priority for the govt. to fix or require stricter regulation. Prods me think whether they're actually benefitting from this or just don't have time and are turning a blind eye due to coincidental reasons.
