How do you sell as leaders and politicians the fact that some of the richest people in the country get away with this for such long time without ANYONE noticing? How is this even possible? This can only happen when everyone at the tax authority is asleep on the wheel or colluded in a rampant game of corruption. Or when you make tax officers work with 40 year old software. Sigh...
This is how you make guys like me lose every last bit of trust in the system. Hundreds of years ago we would have had a public inquisition at the town hall in the village and burnt those charlatans alive. Nowadays they surround themselves with a horde of highly paid lawyers to stall law suits for years and to abuse every last loophole there is that those guys themselves lobbied for in the first place. Human assholes.

Tbh, he brought it on himself, Not a good look for the ecosystem as a whole.
Satoshi was prescient with his anonymity and choosing not to be a guru.
If 'Satoshi' is an actual person and did what they said, he's a freakin master of going to ground, that's all I can say, lol. Lotta moons and a boatload of motivation driving mad mofos, greedy mofos, intel mofos, gubment mofos, every damn kinda mofo from the criminally insane to the outer bleeding edges of spytech and ol 'Satoshi' still gets his pizza delivered by a lambo drivin multibillionaire who don't even know him any more.
Sounds like a good movie. Fuggit, a series. Hey, Doris? Can you see if Swifty got a minute please? Yeah, I know. How bout this, If you get him on the horn, then Lunch is on me at Ruth's Chris? Thank you Doris.
Me thinks it might be a substantial check. 10 years plus interest plus penalties plus a chance to make an example of a rich guy. Be interesting to see how it plays out.
Another cheater in the Crypto industry -- wow what was a surpise.
Why do these Billionaires believe they are above the law? Did this guy believe he would never have to pay taxes ever?
This guy obviously didn't study economic history at Harvard or he would have known about that crazy lady who said "Taxes are for poor people" (Leona Helmsly I believe, who spend time in jail for tax evasion).
