    You'd just get tax residency in Dubai, withdraw, and then move over to your country of choice -> no or little tax in dubai, and papertrail is covered for the tax man.

    try to take large sum of money out of Dubai, and let's talk again ????

     

    money in Dubai goes it, but doesn't go out

    I thought of buying into ETH at $0.65 in 2015. A $5000 investment would be $20 million today, or $30 million plus, at it's peak. Needless to say, I didn't! 

    right, but if you had watched the Netflix documentary, that $5000 investment would have likely gone to some "criminal" at some "fake" exchange, and it would be gone by now, or stolen by hackers.

     

    it's not your money until you cash out completely, and the money is wired out safely. Easier to say than done. Then you have the IRS and regulators that will ask for "accounting" evidence, and that could result in a huge tax bill, because of wash sale etc... that means losses can't be used to offset gains.

     

    With a $30m payout, you can bet that you will be in an accounting tax mess ???? but you won't hear those stories because there are not as glorious as making $30m with cryptos ????

    The system needs improvement, no doubt. However, some have done really well. I have a friend who had the foresight to invest about $30,000 of hard earned money into Bltcoin early on. He cashed out $10 million recently, and is currently sitting on another $10 million plus in Bitcoin. Needless to say he is very comfortably retired.

    ok so he got lucky, or basically "winning" where others have lost in that zero-sum game,

     

    and hopefully he will pay a lot of taxes with his 10m if he was able to get out in time before he got "exit scammed" by the exchange owners ????

     

    the whole thing can't be improved, it's a scam. It took 40 years to out Madoff scam, I wonder how long it will take for cryptos retail investors to get a clue.

     

    Never underestimate the stupidity of the average person ????

    And I thought the protest happened because a greedy criminal wanted "his" money back. 

    it was, but at the same time it was an awesome demonstration of a new power to be.

     

    The democrats should have played along, I think they panicked.

     

    My understanding was during a follow up meeting at the FCCT with then the PM, that they thought it was going to be end of a regime, and they didn't want that to happen now, even though they did share a lot of common ideas with the the Red Shirt.

    They used to notify you of replies, that has stopped, plus support would normally answer within a day, but now nothing, its coming up to renew a paid ad i have, but not going to renew if the site is not working (I know listing/Ad still there so people can see, but if any reply you have to log in and contact them direct) Not good

    probably another victim of COVID, webmaster team and support team left the building and forgot to turn off the light. I think the owner used to be a regular on TV or another Thai related forum.

  6. is this story even real?

     

    if it is, it's more common than you think. Take your kids and try to be the best single dad ever. Their mom don't care. You will have to be both parents. Nothing depressing about this, you should enjoy it.

     

    Take care, and France is great for raising children, you are blessed.

     

    and get a job, should be easy now.

    I guess it was a ".com"? There are zones which registrars ignore any abuse reports because they simply do not speak English, as well as zones which registrars throw away any legal letters coming from the US.

    right, but the top level (ex: .cz) will have people speak English and they will be delisted from the root country servers eventually, and when that happens, suddenly they will act.

     

    ok, list the domain providers that are 'bullet proot' and I will review them, objectively.

    I've met several people with the loud titles who didn't know their stuff so yet another one does not really impress.

    absolutely and I have met so many claiming to be hackers or super tech guys on every topics, and yet were unable to write a simple shell script ????

    I'm entirely perplexed how the discussion point has changed to a image on the bitkub kyc page referring to a invoice for hosting, sure they used the wrong image descriptive, but it's kinda silly to carry on a discussion about a non-issue?

    it was a tangent, still an interesting issue :)

    TheTorrentBay just tried to play legit that's why they tried to host in Sweden or Iceland instead of the real bulletproof locations.

    they never went legit, not sure where you get your news, they were 'fleeing' the actions of 'bullet proof' ISPs, and were hosted in a secret location somewhere in a EU country, using some kind of VLANs between the ISPs switches and their own switches in a bay in their secret location (rumor says it was the basement of the EU parliament)

     

    and the IP pool was managed by some internal EU tech team for the EU parliament IT resources, and at the time, it was protected under some free EU speech directive. You couldn't get more 'bullet proof' than that. It was an IT white paper in itself.

     

    Eventually, even that didn't work and they had to run again,

    Unless you are an ISP yourself. You just have no experience with bulletproof hostings and that's why you are so certain.

    TheTorrentBay just tried to play legit that's why they tried to host in Sweden or Iceland instead of the real bulletproof locations.

    well, I am in position to tell you that 'bulletproof hostings' does not exist. It might be marketed as such, pure marketing deception by some ISPs, it simply doesn't exist in technical terms. It's a myth.

     

    You are free to believe in the tooth fairy though ????

     

    and the "bullet proof domain", maybe you missed the MegaUpload saga, guess that didn't work either ????

     

    Does being a former CTO of an ISP be enough for you? ????
