Ukrainian justice system public servants: the world's smartest investors...

I have to hand it to the guys and girls who work at the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice. I mean, those poor souls struggle by with a post tax income of about US$10-25,000 a year for quite senior people. Enough to do quite OK for most people in Kyiv, but geez, these guys are smarter than that! Somehow, that lowly salary doesn't stop them from getting new Mercedes-Benz S600s, BMW 760is and even the odd Bentley Continental. I could not tell if I was in Kiev or Monaco at one stage. Oh, and my first real life encounter with a Richard Mille watch was with someone whose monthly salary was barely enough to cover a days rent...
And these clever cookies still manage to find enough spare change for USD $800K-$2.5 million apartments in the best parts of Perchersk and Obolon...and not a mortgage agreement in sight.

Come on guys, what's your investment secret?
