Despite the DR exchange rate stabelizing, there are many long term scars left from the collapse of Banniter. For me , I know a DR is like one big small town, and every one talks so I can't imagine any one that does not know of a person or business that could hide the fact that they got a "gift" ( i.e. bribe ) fom the Baniter. Why not be agressive in recouping this money. I mean (ok I understand the ironic nature of this) . . but Leonel could get a bill (bu his own government) for the bullet proof SUV he got from Baniter . . . etc. I mean, if your going to extract a high price in the recover, can't we at least make sure that those who benifitted from curruption pay the highest price? So next time someone is givin a free Helicopter they stop to think. In the US there are what are known as "wistle blower" laws, that give 10% of the money re-couped to the "wistle blower". Maybe it's time to place a reward like that in the DR?
True "wistle blower" laws in the US primarily apply to military contractors, but I think a modified law like this could exist in the DR.
