I don’t give a fuck about this guy, but I know a fucking grifter when I see a grifter, and I’ve learned not to give them the benefit of assuming that their actions are done randomly or stupidly.

Now, if you want to go deep into a thread to claim that a renowned crypto scammer isn’t running a crypto scam, you’re free to do so, but that sounds like a fucking agenda to me.

Clearly, you didn’t bother to read the other comments in this very thread before you posted this.

Sure, and accept that this guy has a few million dollars and can afford to pay for some “creative” accounting.

I guess it’s possible… But I’d consider the fraudster who famously committed financial frauds, participating in more financial fraud, to be a much more probable scenario.

Or… He either didn’t actually pay that money… Or the money went to someone or something he wanted to give 635,000 dollars to already, and writing it off on his taxes is an additional side benefit.

Claim it as a loss on your taxes since it is an investment. Now it is “worth” whatever taxes were paid on 635,000 dollars of income, which I would guess is in the 100K - 300k range.

Hmmm. I guess it’s time to tell you, but not that long ago, there used to be a lot more bugs, and getting 36 moths in a bag probably would have taken less than an hour of work during dusk.

Seriously, we’re going through an insect apocalypse.
