This is the part that makes me suspicious about the whole thing. No way would a tick like Orban just admit defeat. They would at least insinuate that the election was not quite right.

    Indeed. However, they've been pumping public money out of the country via money front institutions for quite a while: the ex leader of the National Bank embezzled 650 billion Forints, which is about a metric shitton even in such an inflated currency (update: just a little shy of 1.8 million EUR). They were seen moving their stuff in literal shipping containers to Dubai. I haven't a single doubt that all that will be used to fund their return with whoever playing as Orbán's hand puppet.
