Lol, yeah, lets see if those BTC ever move......

I wonder if this was a serious request for compensation if they would payout in BTC or does it say somewhere in their law that it can only be dollars.

I'm sure it's not that serious. Maybe he wishes it to be serious, but lets face it, they're not going to give him shit and if they do it most certainly wont be in Bitcoins  :D.

I wonder where he got his figures from to ask for that much.

Its not like he is asking for a normal/average wage he is asking for $7+ mil.

I wonder if we could ask the UK gov to pay tax returns in BTC.
