[quoteThey chose the titles themselves as donators (50BTC+) to the forum. The forum is no longer accepting donations, so you cannot choose a custom title for yourself.

     it's not 50 bitcoins, it was more like 100 pounds at that time.

If someone had written to the admin and offered to donate 2 million pounds, he wouldn't have refused.

Maybe he would ot want the tax issues and reject the coins.

If I was offered 50 coins I would not accept them until I got an IRS ruling on them.

Thermos would be in the same shape.

USA laws are written that

 a. You owe tax on 5 million
b. If the coins are tainted the government can take them.
c. You still owe tax on the illegally obtained coins.
