Do we know what kind of responsibility the finance minister at the time, along with his apparatus, had in moving the money of Stasi to the West? Do we know how many top secret intelligence officers have become media moguls, bank managers, billionaire venture capitalists and what kind of political forces, interest groups were standing behind them? Do we know what ties together the former communist senior officers, the dismissed legions of the underworld and today&#8217;s newfound social democrats?
