It is frustrating but not unexpected. If someone wants to engage with me on an intellectual level then all respect even if we disagree. Some people aren't capable of that and it shows. I didn't think it was an inflammatory opinion and I'm still happy for someone to disagree with me and explain why. Maybe I'll change my mind, maybe I won't. I'm up for the discussion but some people just want to pick fights on the internet. Thanks for your response.

I'm unsure if the details of that process are public but presumably it is possible through coordination with the bank, the treasury department, or both. What I could find publicly was that CZ's personal fine of $70m is payable either by ETF, cashier's check or money order.

EDIT: This rabbit hole also led me to find out that this year, British American Tobacco has a $500m fine for violating some Weapons of Mass Destruction regulation. It sounds horrifying but they basically sold equipment to make cigarettes to the DPRK and tried to hide it. It's confronting seeing proof how blatantly corporations act. There was actual people who decided to do this.

I really don't understand how you can "force" anyone to do anything over Omegle but I guess that's neither here nor there. The more important point is that it would have been better to take the opportunity to catch more pedos doing the same thing on this site. They're still out there just moved to different platforms now. It's not really the win she thinks it is. There's HIGHLY questionable/NSFL stuff even on TikTok and Google Photos.

I wonder how the $1B "outflows" breaks down into cash withdrawals vs moving crypto off-exchange.

Oh people definitely use crypto all right! That's why they had to pay $4.6B to settle a money laundering case.

Arbitrary vs imaginary are distinctly different. You're both right but talking about different things.

May I suggest putting that in the body instead of [South Africa]? That's much more valuable information. Btw wasn't critiquing you at all, I was critiquing the article headline.

Everyone's debating the merits of WebView but I find a browser made by CoinBase, Inc who operates a crypto platform advertising 8% APY to be way more dubious than the battle-tested Chromium browser engine.

Literally. I don't want to watch endless ads intermixed with tired old programming. Trying to shove it down my throat will not work either. There's a reason it's dying and they share a lot of the blame.

Personally I haven't watched traditional TV channels in about a decade. To have it installed on my TV would aggravate me to no end.

I've seen way too many reports about how those things are filled with spyware to ever trust them.
