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.
holy shit you have issues hope you can get better some day lil bro
