The Sochi winter games is only a few days away but no expense has been spared. In preparation for the 2014 winter games it has been recorded that they spent $50 million dollars, Bejing in 2008 they spent arounf $40 million dollars. Some people are questioning what all that money funded, and there is apparently $20-30 million dollars not accounted for. The Russian leader, Nemstov, says the missing money most likely went into the construction of roads and housing for over 800,000 people. That still leaves a large some of money that is said to have to do with the the corrupt Russian Government. Nemstov is said to making this 14 day long event into his "personal project", sparing no expense and not caring about the safety of the people and environment.
