I said reluctant, didn't say it was impossible. Aura Lanka Herbals have been in SL since 2001, some of their subsidiaries are based in the US and Middle East. Softlogic is based in SL and has been well known for a long time. Aura Lanka might not be well known but to label the owner as a money launderer is pathetic. There are many Sri Lankan businessman abroad who have earned their money legitimately but not well known in SL. They will be reluctant to invest in SL if they are labeled as money launderers.
It's so pathetic to see how quick people are to put down another of their own. This is what I was replying to.
They claim to have bunch of businesses in SL that nobody has heard of. They have no online presence outside their website. Not even an Amazon store. This is why it feels a bit suspicious. He could be legit all that I know. For example, let's say Chamath Palihapitiya buys a LPL team - I don't expect anyone to question that although he's living abroad.
