    wrongful-death settlement, taxes and trusts

    Whoops. I miss posted. My reply wasn’t aimed at you. By the way, I am talking about the book entitled The Bell Curve. If that wasn’t clear. I certainly am no quant. But, I have read enough to think here has not been a solid discovery based on genetics to pinpoint the cause of all the issues...

    wrongful-death settlement, taxes and trusts

    Lol. You said “it’s in their genes”. What gene has been found? I’m aware of the disparity in the testing. Unequivocally, there is a difference. But, is it based on environment or genetics? Look up the criticism of The Bell Curve if you want reasons for the disparity. You mentioned genes. I...

    wrongful-death settlement, taxes and trusts

    It is one thing to say “it’s my observation”, it’s quite another to say “it’s in their genes”. Do tell, as if you can prove this, it is my understanding, you are ahead of the geneticists. Don’t post an article about the MAOA gene unless you can explain its similar appearance in Asian men...

    wrongful-death settlement, taxes and trusts

    Good, then go away as you still have not pointed out an inaccuracy in the first, or second, article I posted. You remember the first one, which talked about a 99% conviction rate based on coerced confessions, which you support but both articles say the Japanese are trying to change. Like I...

    wrongful-death settlement, taxes and trusts

    You are throwing out everything but the kitchen sink in the hopes something will stick. Quite frankly, I know the limits of the US system better than you since I work in it. There are problems, but you haven’t stated them. Also, you have changed the argument twice now but, I just wanted to...

    wrongful-death settlement, taxes and trusts

    Lol. Yet, you don't dispute the article‘s facts even though “you lived there”. Know when to say when as right now you are supporting coerced confessions. But, since you asked, here is another article that discusses evidence tampering in the Japanese legal system. It also says they are trying to...

    wrongful-death settlement, taxes and trusts

    No, that would be akin to agreeing with “there is more than one argument” when it comes to evolution and lifting intelligent design to Darwin’s theory. I will let the fact you believe “coercing confessions works ok” speak for itself regarding Japans system, which they themselves are saying...

    wrongful-death settlement, taxes and trusts

    Yes, Japan’s system sounds splendid. “After being arrested in Japan, you can be held for up to 23 days without hearing any charges. You might not see a lawyer once during this time, and chances are you will experience relentless, unmonitored interrogation. The country’s notoriously secretive...

    wrongful-death settlement, taxes and trusts

    I’m comfortble with saying that there are no countries that have a legal system like you propose. With that, I’m done arguing with somebody about something I’ve lived for 25 years. Consider yourself having won If that makes you feel better. Perhaps next argue with the Walton family about...

    wrongful-death settlement, taxes and trusts

    You are arguing for something that cannot work. Judges cannot be specialists in everything. ALMOST EVERY appellate case that overturned a trial court judgment does so on the basis of a JUDGE’S mistake of law after the law was usually brought to them by one side or the other. You thinking that...

    wrongful-death settlement, taxes and trusts

    Again, you should stick with what you know. Civil cases have a completely different standard that the trier of fact, whether a judge or jury, uses to weigh evidence than do criminal cases. Further, “Reckless” and other words that have legal significance mean one thing in a criminal case and...

    wrongful-death settlement, taxes and trusts

    Dan Dan, I’ve been a licensed attorney for nearly 25 years and have settled numerous personal injury wrongful death lawsuits in excess of a million dollars. First and foremost, do not get information about this matter from this forum as it will more likely than not be wrong. I warn you...

    Trading Brooks H2 AND L2

    Would you mind referencing where Brooks talks about the trend line break being necessary in a 2nd entry as I would like to see the context he is saying this in. Thanks.

    Bernie Sanders Transaction Tax?

    Trump 20/20 is far from a lock. Even with the the great economy and low unemployment, aside from republican voters, he is one of the least popular presidents in modern history. Has he had 50% overall approval yet? He disapproval is consistently higher than his approval. Take a look at...

    Bernie Maddoff may receive sentence commutation

    Grulstmrnn, you may be a great trader, and I’ve read some rather intelligent thoughts you’ve had regarding trading, but you are not a lawyer and you are making legal statements that are just wrong. 1) If clawback laws being used to recover the money weren’t legal in this situation, they would...

    Quit prop firm after server side technology issues with API cost me my year; advice on non compete

    HAHA - "a little bit shady". I wish everyone had this mindset as it would be fantastic for my occupation! I'd like to comment on this trader's advice, but, I can't figure out what it means. Is the word "enforce" being used to mean 1) enforce, 2) discover, 3) prove, 4) some other term 5) or...

    Quit prop firm after server side technology issues with API cost me my year; advice on non compete

    Another lawyer's advice: Why would you go to a trading forum to get legal advice? Would you hire an attorney for trading advice? I realize that some on this forum might have had a somewhat similar experience, however, the law in that trader's jurisdiction may be just different enough from...
