BTW, HF's "power hungry, obsolete, uncompetitive product" is still powering Icedrill's mines, which are in turn still paying me dividends. 
And of course you are loyally declaring these capital gains in your tax return, right? I would really not like to see you being narked out like CypherDoc about the BTC 3k he forgot to declare....
Any evidence he is avoiding tax? I'm sure the IRS would be happy to have that evidence.
If Ralph made an extraordinarily ridiculous creditor claim (as poster pmorici claimed earlier on this board) and IF he also tied that claim to some function of his employment compnesation at Hashfast, then the poster would have had to have reported income and paid income tax on the amount in order to become a creditor. IF that is the case, then yes, CA and the IRS would be interested in that fact. It would either mean his claim was fraudulent (and submitted to a court) or he committed tax evasion.
I doubt Ralph would be that stupid so I would expect his claim that is filed with the court, is based on his AFTER tax purchase of equipment.
