With the Republican Party potentially grabbing power again soon, anything is on the table. Honestly, whether something follows the letter of the law isn't even the real issue here...
The Republican Party and the Democratic Party are essentially two sides of the same coin, much like their subordinates. It doesn't matter which one holds the keys to the White House for a moment; the same syndicate is pulling the strings behind the scenes. And clearly, this same syndicate is backing Joca maksimirski, seeing as state institutions—including the police and the courts—are being openly mobilized to protect his position.
If something is actually illegal, you have ways to fight it. You challenge it, stall it, and obstruct it in court, or even out on the streets. If an illegal privatization actually goes through, it can always be overturned. Our local big shot certainly won't be putting his own skin in the game; he knows he’d end up deep in the red even if he had absolute control over player sales. Any sane investor would run for the hills the second they realize a court ruling or some sabotage by interested parties could wipe out their entire investment.
Unless, of course, there are much larger, more lucrative shady deals being cooked up elsewhere—which is likely the case in San Francisco.
