Isn't the general attitude these days to just break laws and bribe officials once you own the hottest startup? /s

edit: re. the /s I was living offshore and running the most popular bitcoin casino at the time, spending a vast amount of money and energy to block any player who might be American. As a result I didn't make that much money. And I tried to calculate how much I would need to make if I wanted to break the law and hide out forever. I figured I could make $10-15M a year but that wouldn't be enough to hide. I fucked up, I guess. Because the richest man in the world made most of his first round of money facilitating gambling transactions, and he's now got his snout in every federal agency. I should have had the balls, I guess, to ask forgiveness rather than permission.
