The Uniited States tax laws are insane. Despite several attempts to try and wrap my head around it, I hit a brick wall every time. It seems like a design intended to indict people rather than make the process easier for them, you have to figure out what to do and when to do it, otherwise you'll face prosecution....
Actually the IRS rules are pretty straight forward. I've never had any problems following them in dealing with my
BTC earnings and transactions.
Then again - I'm not a mega millionaire hell bent on looking for every legal loophole and trying questionable interpretations of them to try and evade taxes.
Ignorance of the law is not an excuse, people should learn how the tax law of where they're doing business works. I don't think that a sane country will go outside their constitution to prosecute anybody that is doing genuine business within their country. This is a common practice among the very rich people, they want to make all the money and be greedy not to pay tax in the country that gave them the enabling environment to do their businesses. If Mr. Van, has a case case against him in the US, them let him go ahead and defend himself, I want to believe that America, is a democratic country, where they respect the rules of law.
