      Or they are in politics or the top management of banks and big corporations. I mean, just look at Jim McNerney. He already almost ruined 3M by forcing and purging all the experienced and engaged company veterans into retirement, because quote "The management overvalued experience and undervalued leadership."
      Then, in 2005, he became CEO of Boeing and did the same, just on a much larger and worse scale. He pretty much purged everyone who was truly engaged in the company and who had knowledge, skill, experience and, most important, a conscience. Because people with those traits meant less profit and less 'shareholder value'. He did this to a point where pretty much _zero_ qualitiy assurance happens at Boing, where the construction of the fuselage for the new 787 Dreamliner was outsourced to a couple of smaller companies with zero experience and often not even with an engineering department. And now we have Boeings falling literally falling apart in the sky.
      Oh, there was a Boeing employee, John 'Swampy' Barnett, who blew the whistle on Boeing after he was told he should report any QA members who actually reported problems, which then would be fired. He was found with an 'apparently' self-inflicted gunshot wound to the temple on the third day of a three-day deposition in his whistleblower case against Boeing. Swampy’s former co-workers universally refuse to believe that their old colleague killed himself.
      The moral of this? The good criminals are the ones you never hear about. The _really_ good criminals are the ones you hear plenty about, because they are the pillars of our political systems and economies, and who don't need to get away, because they can do whatever they want without any consequences, in front of all our eyes.

      @@relight6931 You've nailed it. One great example is Activision/Blizzard, which literally and without exaggeration avoided paying _billions,_ by massive lobbyism.
      See, they've massively pushed the introduction of new tax laws in both the USA and the Netherlands. In the USA those new laws now say that a company has to pay tax in the country its profits were made. And in the Netherlands those new laws now say that a company has to pay the brunt of its taxes where its central office is.
      Now Activision/Blizzard had its had office in the US, but conducted most of its busines and thus, made most of its money in the Netherlands.
      With the result that it neither had to pay taxes in the Netherlands, because its main office was in the US, nor in the US, because it made most of its profits in the Netherlands.

      @@28russ Your Secret Recovery Phrase (or seed phrase) is the backup of all the private keys stored in a given crypto wallet. It allows you to recover all of your blockchain addresses, even without the original crypto wallet.
      This 12-24 word phrase must be kept secure.
      Your seed phrase is the most sensitive piece of data: You must write it down correctly, otherwise you may lose access to your wallet. You should also not enter the seedphrase on computer that is non-secure. As an example hackers can keylog your computer and if you enter the seedphrase on a compromised computer you're giving the hacker acess to the funds indirectly.
      That being said, the people who stored their "btc" on a harddrive that you might have read about actually stored the seedphrase on it, without secondary backup. example; write it down on a paper and put that shit in a safe. This is also known as a paperwallet. Heck, if you wanted to you could split the whole password into x-amount of papers stored different places which you only have acess to.

    As a 12 year old playing runescape, walking through the grand exchange, seeing bots spam "doubling money legit" , I always wondered how other 12 year old could possibly be dumb enough to fall for this. After all, nothing in life is free.
    Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that grown adults and even corporations could fall for the exact same line.
    Not even obfuscated, not even cleverly hidden.
    No, literally "tripling your money legit legit lolol" and people "invest" their life savings.
    I get desperation, I really do. But following a drugged up junkie with 27 knives on his person into a dark alleyway in an attempt to find the love of your life is roughly as likely to turn out well as "will double your money cause i have this magic mcguffin and just so happens that i wanna share cause... uh.... cause reasons."

    I think they must be living in a dream. If I'd stolen that much money, I'd be content with living modestly, without needing to work. Although, it seems like that kind of crime is very nearly impossible to get away with, let alone practically profit by. In the short term, you can buy lots of stuff. In the long term, you get three meals and a cozy cell. Or you're on the run with nothing. It doesn't sound like a good time to me.

      The mistake lies in them not being more patient and conscientious with their spending. It may take a ton of small transactions, but if you buy & resell enough things then you create both a legitimate, legal paper trail for your money as well as flying it under the radar of authorities. Once you have enough saved & a long enough paper trail to buy a cash based business without raising red flags, you can start really laundering the gains.

    • @smokeybowls187
      @smokeybowls187 7 месяцев назад +1

      If I were in possession of such a mass wealth of dirty money, I'd start by cashing out as much as I could safely into cash. Then I'd make several cash purchases under $10,000. Maybe, say, buying & flipping used cars. Flip those cars & you've officially both laundered some of your money as well as creating that much needed paper trail. At this rate now, you can start utilizing an actual bank account if you want. Once you have a good standing with the bank & a realistic progression of increase in your income, you can apply for loans to legitimately buy the bigger ticket items without arousing suspicion (ideally, business loans for those much-desired cash businesses). Then you just make the monthly payments, per usual, & more of your dirty money gets laundered as well as opening up more legitimate income streams. It's hard to not be greedy & want to spend with that much money, but with patience & diligence one could really build themselves a generous wealth; the kind of wealth that would afford someone the ability to pay for big money laundering services.

      For people who abide by laws, it's a decentralized & readily portable currency. Given that the crypto market runs parallel but independent of modern centralized banks that utilize fiat currencies, it should theoretically function as somewhat of an insurance against inflation. In essence, it's like being able to carry a precious metal stockpile in your pocket; can be exchanged into local currency in most modern countries without having to necessarily worry as far as exchange rates are concerned.

    What surprises me with that bitcoin seized is that she didn't have a wallet backup or/and funnel that bitcoin to another wallet for quite some time before authorities discovered what they have. Bitcoin seizing usually only works if authorities can move that to another wallet immediately or keep perpetrator arrested so they cannot move it. You can have multiple password protected copies of the wallet stored in multiple places, and authorities won't be able to do anything with them without a password. You on other hand can move that bitcoin to another wallet from any location with internet access.
