Selfish gain supercide the interest of the people. When a new government feels there are enemies he has to go after. Arresting the central bank governor is chasing shadow because the governor wouldn't have acted only on his own volition. Revelations will unfold on who did what and all that thereby disattracting governance.

В Штатах прецедентное право, так что вряд ли там будут ждать, пока кто-то где-то примет понятный закон. Судья примет решение на уже имеющейся правовой базе, и тут важно, как он к этому отнесётся, потому что это будет прецедент, если дело не решится как-то в итоге в досудебном порядке.

Сами по себе эти 15к баксов, я подозреваю, кроме как пострадавшую женщину, очень мало кого волнуют. Здесь именно модельная ситуация: если деньги в криптоматах можно будет так просто изымать из-за того, что они, возможно, были использованы в криминальной схеме, то это огромный удар для операторов криптоматов.

Да, несколько раз засунуть одни и те же деньги в криптомат можно, но это отдельный вид мошенничества, от всяких физических злоупотреблений банкоматами операторы банкоматов привычно стараются защищаться и физическим усилением конструкции, и разными способами видеофиксации, и установкой в защищённых местах. Так что это в данном случае меня бы отдельно вряд ли заинтересовало, хотя случаев воровства прямо банкоматов целиком хватает. Не так давно даже где-то проскальзывала информация, как незадачливый воришка был очень удивлён, когда понял, что в биткойн-банкомате нет биткойнов.

“The $15,000 she put in the machine was still in the wallet that she had put it in. So we retrieved that $15,000 and brought it back to the office. We photographed it, put it into evidence, and ultimately got it back to the victim so she wouldn’t be further traumatized by these creeps,” Sheriff Parnell McNamara asserted.

As I explained above, buying in btc in France is legal (you need to prove the origin of the funds and pay the flat tax). You can buy a property in apples or anything else as long as taxes and notary fees are paid in fiats and the seller agrees.

As far as market fluctuations are concerned, buyer and seller must agree on the price to be paid in btc, regardless of the exchange rate.

If there's a notarized deed of sale and everything is square, then there's no problem. At least to date.

The news raises many doubts in my mind.


Where do you get that from? I didn't see it in the news. Alleged scammers told her that to avoid a fraud she had to withdraw $15,000 and deposit them in a Bitcoin ATM. But those ATMs deposit it in an address generated by the ATM, as far as I know, they do not allow you to send it to another address, which would be the one of the scammers, and I do not see anything in the news that speaks of sending those bitcoins to another address.

What about bitcoin forks? What about Dash that was closely related to bitcoin.

Is of no doubt the market has already turned green and ETH surpasses 1.9k, though I was having this feeling to enter the market now that we have full confidence that we are no longer going dip. But I am a bit confused if this could be a bear trap, what do you think of the market is there any good analyst to give accurate results on what would happen next or to know if this is a bear trap.

I am able to unfreeze 3 bank accounts usual way contact lawyer negotiate with police pay something

CRPC 102 given them power and they misuse . Any one ready to file PIL I am ready to be part of it

Yeah, that's the unfortunate thing. Most people value convenience more than security until something terrible happened to them. Some companies also don't help at all by releasing products that value convenience more than security.

I wonder how they will use that kind of backdoors openly. If tax collection is their purpose, maybe they will use this backdoor to spy and then send notices instead of stealing them directly.

The story happened in Morocco. The buyer probably took advantage of the fact that the young french seller was unaware of the regulations to file a complaint after the btc dropped.
Although at first she obviously accepted.

Virtual currency transactions are strictly forbidden in Morocco, and officially constitute a breach of the country's foreign exchange regulations. Morocco's foreign exchange regulations clearly stipulate that resident Moroccans may only have foreign accounts under certain conditions (i.e., being an exporter of goods or services). Any breach of these rules is punishable by 5 years' imprisonment and a fine of between 500 and 20,000 dirhams.

Yes, and if we can add, this criminals are the one putting all this fly by night crypto exchanges in countries like you mentioned, specially Russia and Ukraine which to me this is a business already.

And as we all know that there are a lot of hackers too in that country and we have seen a lot of black hat community either in clearnet or TOR propagating this one or even offered services to create exchanges for this purposes. And it's very easy for them to register and get a domain name. So again, this is a big task ahead for US government, Interpol. And it will take the government intervention as well to cooperate and take down this crypto exchanges.

Does such a backdoor exist already? People should not store their crypto saving on a device like a phone in the first place.

Unfortunately, yes. There are no checks and balances in place anywhere, so while legitimate users' accounts are being shut down by exchanges who proceed to keep the money, there are also individual scammers (the high-tech thieves) who steal from people for a living, and nobody from the crypto platforms to the social media apps to the countries are doing anything to quash it.

Thanks for sharing. But I don't quite understand their idea. "Other category" of what? Is it supposed to be another category of securities, or something other than securities/commodities? The latter would make much more sense, but now the question would be if it's not security nor commodity, would it be outside of SEC's jurisdiction? If so, would it require the creation of a separate regulatory body? Because I don't think this is likely to happen. And if SEC was to keep their authority over crypto despite them not being securities - then it's just handing them an extra powers, which is not something I am in favour of.

It's complicated, but not impossible. As I explained earlier, you can use the "dation in payment". In addition, a real estate series on Netflix shows an investor who absolutely wants to pay in BTC; in the docu they don't explain anything, but we can say that as long as the State receives its share (in fiats), then it's possible. After that, it's silly: it's better to resell your btc, pay your flat tax and simplify everything for the notary.

Dation en paiement: this is a method of settling a debt in which the debtor, with the creditor's agreement, hands over to the creditor something other than that initially stipulated in the contract.

Everything you need to know about dation in payment : https://www.village-justice.com/articles/dation-paiement-comme-modalite-reglement-une-dette,38798.html


And if your notary doesn't know about bitcoin, he does know about dation in payment. All that remains is to set the price of the property, and if the seller agrees to a fixed amount of btc at the time of the promise to purchase (even if it means having to put up with market fluctuations).
