Hi, I may take (selected) briefs in relation to Bitcoin, Crypto Currecny (CC's), Anti Money Laundering (AML), FinCen guidelines, and related questions/situations, legislation, or legislative instruments, company/business structure and issues.

My qualifications are B.Laws (LLB) UNSW and I also have a B.Eng.Mech.Hons.
I have trained in a Common Law Jurisdiction.

I specialized in the Law of Banking so have formal education in Fiat, Fractional reserve banking, Capital Reserve Ratio's, and related subjects.

I have already consulted to some smaller BTC exchanges, and am drafting a white paper for them in relation to AML.

I will not take every brief, as there may be more suitable services, for example your question may be better suited to straight Contracts, Torts, or statutory relief.

Any Information provided will strictly informational only due to jurisdictional requirements, however depending on the case, I may engage relevant council in the relevant Jurisdiction.

Essentially the problem most client's will face, is very very few Lawyers have any understanding of CC's, Bitcoin, AML, Programming, Fractional reserve banking, and would need about 4 years to come up to speed on all of those areas.

My services circumvent this, I know where to look, and can quickly identify the material issue.

Again I will not take every brief.

Costs.
To look at a Brief (max 3 A4 page summary) 0.5 BTC,

I will not read more than 3 [three] pages of text, as you need to be able to get your material issues into a focused form. It is not economically feasible for me to charge less than this. It also makes you be concise.

At this point I may reject taking on the Brief, with maybe some comments on why.

If I take the Brief on, I will give a time frame, and costs will be 0.5 BTC per hour up to a maximum amount as agreed. (I'm discounting on the hope BTC will rise)


You will receive a view on your position, the merits of your case (if any), and what relief or structure you should pursue.

I am currently very busy already, so PM me with any questions or briefs, I may if I have time reply or not. I may have a little more time in About a month.

wow supergreat i have questions for lawyers all the time but I've never actually known one.

hey maybe you know this one. if i opened a store that didn't touch fiat, so like a little trading post out in the country that was barter only could i keep my prices down by avoiding any taxes? i would price things in silver coin and consider any other offers as well. Theoretically i wouldnt have to pay sales tax and i technically wouldn't have any income to report to the irs.

If one can not confer upon another a right which he does not himself first possess, by what means does the state derive the right to engage in behaviors from which the public is prohibited?

PM me.

Also, you are not really seeking to "avoid" taxes, which has quite harsh legal penalties, rather you are seeking a tax effective business structure, and tax minimization strategies, which are legitimate activities.
