Imagine a rack of servers in some countries where global and even that country's law can't really touch them. "cyber gangs" and the like will use those servers as hosting for their malware and activities.

Well, that countries law enforcement could always cut off those servers. It's usually either due to corruption or in case of russia political intent that these servers are kept online.

		It kind of depends, a lot of the recent ones are in Myanmar where the state is in not much position to enforce much of anything due to the whole civil war thing.

		Yes. One of the biggest providers there is just down the street from The Hague and other law enforcement agencies. I suspect there is some back scratching to get easy wins for specific types of crimes. Long story.
