I think the author made up this expression. It's supposed to mean "in large amounts" but the expression I know is "hand over fist." Perhaps he means that they've lost so much money that they don't even want to talk about it, thus "hand over mouth." |

Nica -- good guess... need more context |

теряли деньги только так хотя обычно выражение применяют, когда making money |
