Ведь деньги шпионы в чемоданах не возили, естественно. Создавали банки.

Russian to English Social Sciences Economics Russian Corruption
Один из экспертов приводит воспоминания свидетеля, встроенного в ту, прежнюю, систему: «Ведь деньги шпионы в чемоданах не возили, естественно. Создавали банки. То есть это давным-давно было известно, как это делается. Поэтому в 91-м году именно эти люди … пришли к Ельцину и сказали: «Ну надо же коммуняк-то победить! Нужны деньги, да? А как это делать, нет проблем! Мы вас сейчас научим».

...if this is on a grander scale...the...I'd keep the front and change the last sentence to, "They opened up their own banks."
Peer comment(s):

neutral Arkadi Burkov : мне кажется, из контекста косвенно следует, что "эти люди" работали более масштабно - они скорее создавали банки, а не открывали счета

Thanks. Could be....but it takes a lot more money to open a bank that what's in a suitcase...unless you have some REALLY big bills. :) :)
neutral David Knowles : I was concerned about "naturally" vs "sure", but looking at the other answers, I think "bank account" is wrong - it's a whole bank!

Thank you, Dave. Although, I think Rakardi may have a point about the scale...ah well, that's what's nice about choices, the translator can go with what fits the overall context of the paper.
neutral alex11 : with Rakardi: They are talking big money and Setting up-openning banks not just accounts. Read Ru version- Sozdavali banki ( nothing about accounts) Look BIgger!

But of course there were no spies transporting suitcases full of money. They created there own banks.
