I have no idea how you will be able to find an honest partner in Bali. All I know is that you will not be short of helpful "friends" here if you let people know you have 1/4 million USD burning in your pockets ready for "immediate" spending.
If you are new to Bali and Indonesia then you will need long time on the ground to figure out how things work here. Two things may happen 1) You get to know trustworthy people and is able to figure out all the dos and don'ts', or 2) You will realize it is a cesspool of untrusty and corrupt people all around trying to offload your cash.
The Russians seems to thrive here so maybe it is just me asking for a high bar.
Do the Russians thrive here though? I feel like a lot of them get deported and if they are successful, they are doing it illegally and that only lasts so long until they wind up either dead, in jail or deported.
