I have thought about it.
But I think this is more damaging to the Chinese girls than the punters.
That means Govt know what they are up to and use it for leverage at any time.
Having said that, Govt tends to work on a macro level, not micro.
We are insignificant fish in an ocean (no matter what our self-centered inner voice might say)

But all Govt would have some sort of dirt on someone.
Gov and banks can easily know you are a punter.
Gov through CCTV and banks through your pattern of expenditure, when and where you spend your money.
