[@CNBC]

Watch CNBC’s Eamon Javers in his new documentary about a Russian insider trading gang stealing from investors on Wall Street, and the spies who played a role: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGXOiKidl61np9E

Nah.

[@JiminyBillyBobIII]

See, this is why the government in its entirety is such a dispicable entity. Okay this guy did something wrong, (sort of at least, yet I never heard anyone crying about money stolen from drug dealers and human traffickers. he was kind of like robin hood, stealing from actual criminals, thus making the world a bit safe, although for selfish reasons. anywayyyyy), he was the reason the government collected billions of dollars and they didn't bother to uphold his rights as a citizen and solve the crime committed against him. What, it would have cost more than 3 billion dollars to solve this crime? They couldn't have used the exact same techniques they used against him to trace the perpetrator?

Do not die with a Will in Austin TX use Right of Survivorship. Some Thieves wear Suits ! Pray for Judge Guy Herman. DEMOCRAT. Probate Court Scam, Theft Alert . A Mom and daughter both own, each one half of 15 tree covered acres with two houses, each have No Debts. Austin, Texas built a Formula 1 Race track and Music Concert and Events Center across the hiway and as visitors exit the Main Entrance across the street that tree covered, undivided, 15 acres has 2 homes on it. The Mom died leaving a Signed notarized and double witnessed Will stating that the Mom's house and property is Not to be SOLD. The Mom, always a good Judge of character, met the new neighbor Developer and said that man is no good and no good will come from him. The "Honorable" "Ethical" Probate Court Judge Guy Herman replaced the Named Trusted Loyal Executor who would Not SELL , with the Austin, Texas, Travis County taxpayer funded Velocity Project Developer's "Ethical" Attorney as Administrator who that day Contracted to SELL the Debt Free Estate likely valued at $500~800k to maybe a high of $3,000,000, due to the location (2023 Austin area property tax is $150,000 per acre $150k x 7 1/2 acres= 1,125k), to the Taxpayer funded Velocity Project Developer for $60k claiming SELLING the DEBT FREE House and 7 1/2 acre Estate (half of the family's Undivided 15 acres) is BEST for the Family. The Will gives the Executor and now by law the Administrator the power to SELL or Not SELL and to SET the price if needed with only a low price Limit and NO UPPER Limit. By removing the Named in the Will Loyal Trusted Executor the HONORABLE Guy Herman made the Estate Defenseless , and has Stolen (at a cheap price) this Mom's house. To maintain Control, Judge Guy Herman refused to permit a Trial by Jury. Because the Named Trusted Executor complained soo much another "Ethical" Judge, Daniel Prashner , stepped in and said he reviewed the Probate Court case and said he would Court Order a SELL at $60k. Probate Court is a Brotherhood of Snakes . The Velocity Project Developer already has 100+ bull dozed flat acres to the side and 70+Millions of dollars and teams of "Ethical" lawyers but he doesn't have that Mom and daughter's place at the Main Entrance. Don't Die with a Will , do "Right of Survivorship" and avoid Probate Court's Legal "Ethical" Theft for the Good of the Debt Free Family Scams . DEBT FREE means No Need to SELL. How much Safer would you feel sleeping knowing that this Developer bought half of your Family's homestead for $60k by Court Order.? As visitors exit the Main Entrance of the Formula One Racetrack, Concert Events Center and Amusement Park the tree covered property directly across the street is the tree covered, undivided 15 acres where the Mom and Daughter's 2 Houses are. The 100+ acres of bull dozed land beside the Mom and daughter's Homestead is owned by the Travis County taxpayer funded Developer of the Velocity Project, operating as 10+ LLC companies who want to put in Retail and housing. Do not die with a Will , Use a Right of Survivorship or Pass on Death filed at the Courthouse prior to death. So the Ethical Judge and State Bar of Texas Ethical Attorneys can't Steal your Property. Father Jehovah, they by the offices they hold represent Thy Hand here upon this Earth and as such they should be held to a higher level of accountability than that of the people they are here to serve. Father Jehovah, I ask that You hold back Thy Mercy, stretch forth Thy Hand, spare not Thy Rod and correct those that are in positions of authority with sufficient magnitude and persistence that they despite their Godless tyrannical and often evil spirited ways might come to know that there is a God, that life on Earth is short and to at all times seek to do that which is right.

Additionally there was no law whatsoever that forbade to steal Bitcoin from criminals. He hurt no one, yet he was sentenced to jail. Wrong treatment imo.

Jimmy got what he deserved. He should of stuck to his confucius lessons he surely learned being Chinese. He embraced American capitalism and American culture. This is the result. It's all selfish, shallow and superficial. You can't buy real friendship. This is why majority of Triads left Hong Kong the moment it was given back to China. Criminals love the western system as its so easy for them to operate. Jimmy clearly hung out with triads. That's why he knew about that bitcoin exchange used by criminals. US law enforcement always playing catch up. The entire system does a terrible job with white collar crimes. It's designed like this for corporations to do whatever they want. Many Chinese criminals look at the US as a exit to a legitimate life after leaving China. They turn into your businessmen. It's not just China, it's the entire world of intelligent organized criminals. US is a perfect destination for them. Extreme capitalism works for them. This is why the US is losing against China. It can't even ensure their businesses operate with integrity or their justice system ensures safety of their citizens. China will out innovate the US. The US needs to revamp their system to improve the majority of lives for their citizens. It doesn't need to become exactly like China. Other countries still keep their democracy but they have policies which the people overwhelmingly support. For example, the US does not even have a national gun registration which majority of citizens support. There's so many things the US is behind when compared to other nations of similar caliber. For example, many in Europe. The income inequality in the US is extremely high! These are just examples proving policies in the US need changing to benefit the majority.

If the government wanted the taxes on a crypto, that oscillates value so much and wasn't in the real world, I would call bs. Just tax him with the reasonable penalties over the coins he sold/cashed in and put him on a program to use his skills to actually get bad people.

Do not die with a Will in Austin TX use Right of Survivorship. Some Thieves wear Suits ! Pray for Judge Guy Herman. DEMOCRAT. Probate Court Scam, Theft Alert . A Mom and daughter both own, each one half of 15 tree covered acres with two houses, each have No Debts. Austin, Texas built a Formula 1 Race track and Music Concert and Events Center across the hiway and as visitors exit the Main Entrance across the street that tree covered, undivided, 15 acres has 2 homes on it. The Mom died leaving a Signed notarized and double witnessed Will stating that the Mom's house and property is Not to be SOLD. The Mom, always a good Judge of character, met the new neighbor Developer and said that man is no good and no good will come from him. The "Honorable" "Ethical" Probate Court Judge Guy Herman replaced the Named Trusted Loyal Executor who would Not SELL , with the Austin, Texas, Travis County taxpayer funded Velocity Project Developer's "Ethical" Attorney as Administrator who that day Contracted to SELL the Debt Free Estate likely valued at $500~800k to maybe a high of $3,000,000, due to the location (2023 Austin area property tax is $150,000 per acre $150k x 7 1/2 acres= 1,125k), to the Taxpayer funded Velocity Project Developer for $60k claiming SELLING the DEBT FREE House and 7 1/2 acre Estate (half of the family's Undivided 15 acres) is BEST for the Family. The Will gives the Executor and now by law the Administrator the power to SELL or Not SELL and to SET the price if needed with only a low price Limit and NO UPPER Limit. By removing the Named in the Will Loyal Trusted Executor the HONORABLE Guy Herman made the Estate Defenseless , and has Stolen (at a cheap price) this Mom's house. To maintain Control, Judge Guy Herman refused to permit a Trial by Jury. Because the Named Trusted Executor complained soo much another "Ethical" Judge, Daniel Prashner , stepped in and said he reviewed the Probate Court case and said he would Court Order a SELL at $60k. Probate Court is a Brotherhood of Snakes . The Velocity Project Developer already has 100+ bull dozed flat acres to the side and 70+Millions of dollars and teams of "Ethical" lawyers but he doesn't have that Mom and daughter's place at the Main Entrance. Don't Die with a Will , do "Right of Survivorship" and avoid Probate Court's Legal "Ethical" Theft for the Good of the Debt Free Family Scams . DEBT FREE means No Need to SELL. How much Safer would you feel sleeping knowing that this Developer bought half of your Family's homestead for $60k by Court Order.? As visitors exit the Main Entrance of the Formula One Racetrack, Concert Events Center and Amusement Park the tree covered property directly across the street is the tree covered, undivided 15 acres where the Mom and Daughter's 2 Houses are. The 100+ acres of bull dozed land beside the Mom and daughter's Homestead is owned by the Travis County taxpayer funded Developer of the Velocity Project, operating as 10+ LLC companies who want to put in Retail and housing. Do not die with a Will , Use a Right of Survivorship or Pass on Death filed at the Courthouse prior to death. So the Ethical Judge and State Bar of Texas Ethical Attorneys can't Steal your Property. Father Jehovah, they by the offices they hold represent Thy Hand here upon this Earth and as such they should be held to a higher level of accountability than that of the people they are here to serve. Father Jehovah, I ask that You hold back Thy Mercy, stretch forth Thy Hand, spare not Thy Rod and correct those that are in positions of authority with sufficient magnitude and persistence that they despite their Godless tyrannical and often evil spirited ways might come to know that there is a God, that life on Earth is short and to at all times seek to do that which is right.

[@jerkface38]

I believe it was untaxable until 2017 when they finally classified it. Until then it was basically considered gamer currency. Also, I agree. Jimmy didn't steal it as the owner called it a reward. The IRS and other agents in this would be considered theives, but since they all split it and investigated themselves, they found no wrongdoing. Also, theft has a legal time limit to prosecute. You can't prosecute a theft that happened 10 years ago. So they are just completely wrong on all accounts and it's absolutely abhorrent.

I advise y'all to forget predictions and start making a good profit now because future valuations are all speculations and guesses.
