There is a universal rule: if you know the right person at the right time, chances are, you will get what you want and faster.
Places like USA and Canada, just enforce rules a little harder but there is no doubt in my mind that if you put your money in the right hands you will get what you want and a lot faster.
In Vietnam I was involved in the gold mineral exploration business and talking to foreign country companies who were producing gold (mostly Canadian companies, a few Australian companies)they all told me they were continuously harassed by the government and the military once they started to produce gold they had to pay them off.
On the other hand, the KBLB project is in a totally different business niche-high tech; perhaps in that business the Vietnamese government/military leave them alone.
