YMMV / Leverage: Redemption S 1 E 2 "The Panamanian Monkey Job"

• Genius Bonus: Corbett argues that dictators would normally feel compelled to commit whatever massacres they felt were necessary to stay in power forever, and that his 'bank' allows those same dictators to escape into luxurious retirements without committing those atrocities, so his bank is really a good thing on the whole. Despite sounding like an absurd justification for helping monsters, this is an actual argument in the field of international relations. It's called the 'dictator's treadmill,' as seen here.
