Excuse my ignorance, do you have more details on this?

Persia didn't even come into being until 500BC

      Really, I'm not sure how much simpler and clearer their comment could be:

      The Persian empire did not exist until round about 550 BCE.

      Thus, the upthread statement,

      > the business plan people got convicted for trying in ancient Persia, 5000 years ago.

      Is somewhat nonsensical: 5000 years ago, Persia did not exist. I suppose we could be talking about whatever existed in that locale of the world around 3000 BCE. But that's what they're saying: "what do you mean, 'in ancient Persia, 5000 years ago', Persia did not exist then".
