The state claims crypto is not money but property. When you try to sell your property to others they claim you are a money exchange. The slave system is a complete fraud.

The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire (LPNH) also weighed in. “Ian Freeman has been sentenced for 96 months for the ‘crime’ of selling bitcoin without the proper government paperwork,” the LPNH post proclaimed. “ Thanks to sound money, the days when tyrants can effectuate edicts like this are numbered.”

This is not a "paperwork violation". This guy is exactly the asshat you expect him to be.

✅ Article author wearing a MAGA hat in their profile picture, simping for a wannabe dictator who tried to stay in office despite being voted out, tried to block the peaceful transfer of power, and made a similar "paperwork violation" of sending fake electors to congress. Who also engaged in a long list of financial frauds for which he has been sued dozens of times. Birds of a feather.

✅ Turns out, at least for this guy, it's not paperwork, it's actually not paying taxes for years from the income he made from a unlicensed crypto exchange which touched over 10 million dollars.

✅ Turns out it's not just not paying taxes, it's also making a fake church charity to avoid taxes and instructing people to lie to their bank and tell them it was a "donation" to a church to avoid raising suspicion.

✅ Turns out he made over a million dollars doing this

Next time you use a public road, library, healthcare, enjoy clean and safe drinking water without getting typhoid, or benefit from any other government service, don't thank this guy, apparently he's too selfish and "enlightened" in his libertarian edgelordism to contribute his fair share while he makes over a million dollars. Regular people won't touch crypto with a ten foot pole due to asshats like this.

Want crypto to see mainstream adoption? Stop defending let alone idolizing and making martyrs of people like this. There are plenty of people imprisoned for much more noble acts you could pick from, go to Amnesty International, Reporters without Borders, or The Human Rights Foundation for their list if you're feeling really uncreative in picking your next hero.

So basically paperwork violations. He did not steal or harm anyone. just refused to obey arbitrary dictates from a degenerate mafia.

The state is my employee and I decide how much they deserve based on their performance. If I know funds are being used for criminal activity then it is our duty to withhold such funds.

✅ Income taxes are theft, it is not a crime to avoid being stolen from. No one is allowed just skim off of your labor without consent, this is called slavery.

❌ The roads are crap and falling apart, trillions are being stolen every year, the roads should be deluxe.

❌ "Healthcare" is trash, people are sicker than ever. The state has made the price of healthcare skyrocket with criminal incentives and forced scam insurance policies.

❌ The water is not clean and safe, it is loaded with toxins which cause many diseases which then are blamed on imaginary viruses.

❌ You forgot to mention endless wars and world wide criminal murder campaigns that are being funded with the stolen money known as "taxes".

✅ Monero is the answer to the criminal banking mafia that has hijacked the government. If we are to have government it should be local, accountable, and 100% transparent. Otherwise it is a criminal operation.

Commis can't compute that I'm afraid 🤡 Take my upvote brother!

[–] tusker@monero.town 2 points 1 year ago

Luckily there will be a lot less of them soon. Thanks Bill 👍

there is no reason for this post to have -1 score because every single statement is true

the water is indeed not clean and safe, remember when alex jones said "the water is turning the frogs gay"? he was actually right, the water is so fucking filled with estrogens that its making fish change their sex (fish, unlike humans, can change their sex from external hormones)

there is estrogen everywhere, they want you weak, there are estrogens in your water, in your food, in the things you touch and use every single day

xenoestrogens are perfectly legal. maybe you're wondering "what about xenotestosterones? are they not a thing?" well, they are a thing, they're called anabolic steroids and are very illegal

makes you think huh

Lemmy is currently filled with zombie NPC's. If Joe Biden did not say it on TV or it wasn't echoed by MSNBC they will completely disregard any information, even if there are 1000 independent sources confirming it.

They have been hit with intense mind-control and chemical toxins which have reduced their thinking capacity to that of a 5-7 year old that puts full faith in the official narrative as if it were their mommy.

I've been on the microblogging part of the fediverse for a while. what I've seen is, at some point someone's going to have to rip the bandaid off and instances like lemmy.ml need to defederate from instances like monero.town. they can't coexist with anyone who doesn't think the way they do. at some point soon, they won't be able to talk to you and you won't be able to talk to them. it's meant to be.

I'd much rather have Ross Ulbricht than this guy.

If he had actually scammed people, like the banks do every day, there would be no charges and small fine. It is only when you stand up to the communist "laws" that the hammer is dropped.

The criminal state does not care about you being scammed or victimized, they only care if you are obeying their criminal mandates or not.
