A reader responds to this:

I took your suggestion and invested $1.98 in KGB’s service. The response to what their thoughts would be about capitalists appropriating their name, they responded, of course, that the service isn’t named for the Russian secret service, the name stands for Knowledge Generation Bureau.
When I asked how many people the KGB murdered, this was their answer:
“The Russian KGB is Komitjet Gosudarstvjennoj Bjezopasnosti. They were so secretive that it’s unknown!”
I suppose I should be happy that capitalists are not only trading on their noteriety, but, I hope, profiting from it.
