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 ?  Roll Eyes

They should trust a Russian money launderer instead? Admittedly it is in your best interest to obfuscate and distract from the topic at hand.

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 Smiley

Since it has been your stated intention from the beginning to launder money, you do not need to get caught 'irl'. Nor do you need to actually launder any money now. You have formed a conspiracy to break the law at some point in the future using GeistGeld and/or Tenebrix, and anyone who helps further either of those projects (by mining, hosting a pool, or an exchange, etc.) is part of that conspiracy and just as guilty under US law.

Really though, it is pointless for me to argue the intricacies of US law with a Russian money launderer. Especially the one at the center of this little criminal enterprise who has very little to lose and a very small chance of ever being brought to justice. I doubt you will lose any sleep whatsoever should anyone suffer for mining your chain. Everybody who ever breaks the law has a reason, whether base or noble, for doing so. Making you rich should not be the reason anyone goes to prison.

What tweet? What are you on about?

Here-here



Ha ha ha haha.

Boy, this is absolutely hillarious. Could you please post this to Twitter or something ? (I can't pwomise a bounty, tho :-P )

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 Cheesy

No, although I can see where that can be misread. Your command and grasp of American English and the idioms and slang are absolutely amazing for a non-American. Makes one wonder if you are who you say you are. Russian money laundering is a bit of stereotype, and if you scammed everyone and disappeared...well that is to be expected when dealing with shady characters from Eastern Europe, right 'comrade'?

In fact, I can't seem to find where you have been posting in any other language except English. Hmmmm....
