Re: How mining GeistGeld/Tenebrix can get you a prison sentence in the US
Cryptocurrencies are abstractions formed by exotic math and more akin to distributed database service than anything else.
That argument (and a large bribe) might work in your court system. It most assuredly will not fly the US Federal Courts. I assume you expect everyone to take an anonymous attorney-at-lol's word for it ?
While this might cause the Courts to legally recognize blockchain based cryptocurrencies as currencies, the downsides to that recognition far outweigh any upsides.
I like that "might" of yours, and an interesting "what if?" scenario (in the same way that "younderboy might be a lawyer since no laws of physics prohibit such a weird circumstance" is an interesting hypothetical
)The US has a host of laws dealing with money, and a case such as this would be a very good excuse for them to get cryptocurrencies regulated without actually passing any new laws.
Again, I assume you expect everyone to take an anonymous attorney-at-lol's word for it ?
Also, exactly same (lack of) logic that you seem to apply to Cryptocoins applies to WoW gold, and WoW gold "laundry" would be easier to prosecute.
So do give me a PM when they get arrests, or better yet, convictions in the US for cases of "world of warcraft" not-really-money laundering.
If you cannot launder 50 or 100 bitcoins worth of currency from yourself to yourself, you a bad money launderer indeed.
Oh, I am indeed broken by your astute and in-depth assessment of relative merits of sneaking out an unspecified amount of coins from an addy everyone knows about without getting NOTICED (as opposed to "caught irl")
I see you are not only a powerful e-lawyer, but also a computer crime e-xpert.
You are DaVinci of our times, dude

No bounty, thx. I don't want to install a client and help further your continuing criminal enterprise. Thx, tho.
Which sort of strongly implies that you will tweet your e-lawyering fo' free
