It's better to be clear with your allegations. You can't just paint someone bad because they were born in a corrupt country and had to play the game before departing for greener pastures. Let's be frank...Murati would hardly have done much in Albania anyway.
From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mira_Murati) - Throughout her school years, she participated in many Olympiads and math competitions. That was likely how she got a foreign scholarship.
As i noted - I personally know dozens of not more OIO and OIM finalists and none was that lucky. And of course - she would’ve ended as a university teacher at best had she stayed in Albania.
But once again - the timeframe is very very important.
