Or, they contend, the trillion dollars in IFFs is from a cluster of emerging market countries and therefore is skewed to make it look as though all developing countries have huge problems when really only a few do. GFI decided to go back to the data to see if the criticisms were accurate.  aCapital Outflow, Poverty  uiffoadatabase.trustafrica.org/iff/illicit_flows_in_the_poorest_of_places.pdf  cCF  c539d539
