What fraction of companies in Croatia are "money laundering"? Because if the fact is that most companies start out this way, and we end up with Rimac due to a magical grouping of people, then their success is hardly ignoble at all; it should be celebrated, supported, and leveraged into a moderate size organization. In that sense, they were successful despite their beginnings, which would normally be structured to not foster innovation. So they should be celebrated by Croatia and by Croatians since it is an example of what companies can be, and not so much an example of how companies can start since we already know the probability of success with that method is very low.
