All I read was that you allowed the government to hold $325k of your cash without paying you any interest. You fucking got owned, and to top it off you had to pay half of that to a lawyer when you could have represented yourself pro se.

Great LARP. You're a fucking moron

Holy shit, are you upset that you have to pay 37% while OP pays 14%? Even including lawyer fee he paid like 15% in taxes on seven million dollars. You are probably raging that you pay half your income to the IRS LOL

I pay $0 on my crypto gains because I have a registered 501(c). I donate all of my gains to my nonprofit.

Try again. If you are cashing out crypto to your personal name, you are doing it wrong.

This is how I know you're poor. You can only legally deduct up to 50% of your businesses charitable donations. Even if you deducted 50%, you would be paying half of 37%, AKA 18.5%. STILL MORE THAN OP LMAO

But you're LARPing anyways because any real business owner knows about the 50% charitable donation deduction cap. Stay poor forever, fag.

Donate is implied sarcasm. I don't write fucking checks to my own non profit. I have a dedicated hardware wallet for that account. I transfer the crypto there and convert it to fiat.

But Yeah I'm poor you got me.

LOL. Sign a message right now from any wallet with more than $100,000 value and I will send you 10 BTC right now.

No seed phrases in 2010 only keys

Bitcoin is a public ledger. If moved around only in 2010 at 2010 transaction speeds you could literally show the exact min the coin hit your wallet as well as demonstrate it had not moved in 9 years

Nice. Cant say I have any pity for the IRS. They try making it more difficult by making you jump through hoops. Then they flip back and forth and try to backpedal all while trying to make you do the work. It's quite tiresome. If they want the tax so bad they should do all the footwork not me.
