LR just provided the ledger, you bought in and cashed out through 3rd party exchangers who were supposed to do all the KYC checking. LR also would freeze any account that moved more than some arbitrary amount that I can't remember but you could open pretty much unlimited accounts with slightly different info to keep under the limits. They weren't as bad as the DoJ claims unless there was private side dealing they discovered.
When the exchangers started allowing Visa/MC ATM card loads is when all the org crime flocked to LR to cash out their stolen db sales and attention from DoJ started.
Another problem is all the anti abuse so called safeguards like timed release so the pills can't be crushed. That means you can't take half the pill and a few hours later the other half which is what some people did to get around the false 12hr relief advertising before the DEA and other government meddlers got involved.
As for the FDA guy materializing at Perdue this is par for the course of all gov positions. A cabinet minister here was instrumental in vetoing the Bank Act which saved banks millions in taxes. Of course that minister materialized on a bank's board of directors after being kicked out of office by the voters as a thank you. When that bank started making large party donations they appointed the same ex minister as dean of a local university where immediately upon being parachuted into the role credit card tables were set up by the same bank on campus to rope students into applying for them. Plenty of city employees and councillors that allowed unpopular developments ended up on the board of developer corps too only later to be appointed to special environment advisory committees that of course pushed for pro development regulations. I'm sure this ex FDA pharma shill will end up somewhere else so he can further manipulate the system to the benefit of his patron too.
I got up early everyday and read a chapter before work and tried many of the exercises. Now I use the whole set as an almost daily reference where I work. The prelim math you can get from MITs 6.042 either on OCW or the reg school site https://courses.csail.mit.edu/6.042/spring16/class-material.... if you just want to understand on an applied level what's going on. I did it in MMIX using the book 'The MMMIX Supplement' by Ruckert to check answers.
Re: SICP I noticed Harvard and other schools typically have an intro to CS course then a course after in abstraction using OCaml or other functional language. The syllabuses I've found for these second semester CS intro courses looks almost identical to SICP ToC except no hand rolled compiler which is probably the single most useful chapter I've ever read in any CS book.
I was a juror in a trial 10 yrs ago where the police fielded their so-called blood splatter expert who testified he could recreate the entire crime just from casual observations about bloodstains at the scene complete with props using red dyed water to further the fraud. As soon as he was done the judge instructed us that the entire testimony be thrown out since it was blatant pseudoscience but later when I looked the police agents name up he had given the same false testimony in other trials and it was admitted as evidence without question.
Even if they are followed these are likely organized international criminals and KYC is just a speed bump for them to cruise over with stolen identities.
It's a mix of Sururiyya, which is influenced by Wahhabism and Ba'athism where a state is ruled by a vanguard party. They removed the disloyal parts of Sururiyya which called for questioning inept leaders and replaced it with the unwavering loyalty obligations of a typical Ba'athist dictatorship.
The fact that Saddam era henchmen who clashed with KSA over the pillaging of Kuwait are running Daesh, plus the propaganda coming out from them calling for the removal of the house of Saud as custodian of the two holy mosques, and considering Saudi military defectors and political dissenters make up the majority of Daesh recruits it seems suicidal they would support them in anyway. Maybe there are political opposition in KSA doing so but even that would risk their own status since Daesh proved they don't care about agreements when they invaded Mosul and promptly executed the local elite who helped them get in.
Would be interesting to see hours worked too, are those $200k+ bonus salaries 84hr work weeks with 3 weeks vacation you can never take or normal hours.
Nobody that I can remember has been able to identify the large bitcoin thefts over the years by tracking the coins, those people cashed out somehow. However the SEC filing on Pirateat40's ponzi scheme was remarkably detailed, they were able to track every single coin he received and prove he spent it on himself.
I would imagine others use JoinMarket to mix up the coins[1], use coin control[2] to exchange for other cryptocurrency p2p, or other obfuscation methods like buying up high demand items with bitcoin then selling them remotely for other bitcoins.
It's no fun if you swat somebody and don't brag about it afterwards on Twitter/IRC/whatever which will lead authorities straight to them like it has most other criminals.
In first grade was given a bunch of tests and determined I had a "grade 12 reading level" whatever that means. I was sent to one of those so-called child prodigy schools but had no interest in anything they were teaching me. Instead I would disassemble every electronic box in the school and hack around with it. They kicked me out of that school for doing nothing the entire time except taking apart electronics and returned me to the public system. First day, when we received our texts for the year I'd read through the entire text on the weekend and do all the exercises. Then I'd just slack off all year, usually only showing up to do the tests and weekly quizzes while spending the rest of my time hanging out with the other delinquents in my school who never went to class. This worked fine until about Grade 10, when I decided to not even bother reading the textbooks on the first weekend of school anymore and just didn't show up or do any work at all. I was solely interested in hanging out with the crazy STS chatboard goths and IRC hackers I befriended who all partied at this guy's warehouse downtown everyday, which I got away with for about 8 months until one day I forgot to intercept the mail and phone calls from my school and my parents discovered I wasn't even going anymore.
My routine was to get up and walk to school, attend homeroom to show I was actually there then just take off to go downtown to said hacker/drug dealer's warehouse. There was always a ton of people there it was a defacto hackspace and party house. I learned more hanging around those people for a few months than I did all of high school. When my parents gave me an ultimatum I decided to go squat with a bunch of street punks and just hang around the hackerspace all day.
I probably would've been satisfied going to some kind of engineering or compsci program after school if it had existed at the time. I liked hanging out with my friends in high school and was glad I still went to be social but it would've been great if school was only a few hours, and the rest of the day I could have pursued my interests in electrical engineering at a non institutionalized type environment. Hanging with my friends was fun in school between and after classes but everything else about it felt like prison. Somebody you don't elect hands you arbitrary rules to follow and you just end up feeling trapped. I'm sure plenty of other kids don't mind high school for a few hours a day but would much rather spend the bulk of their time learning something else they're actually interested in. I have no idea how this can be accomplished but a full day slogging through half a chapter in a textbook on a subject you have zero passion about isn't it.
There already is a long term UBI scheme in Kenya's poorest region around Lake Turkana if anybody wants to see what the desperate poor do with the money.
There was also that BES service Data Locking corp (a.k.a. BeStealth) hosted in Costa Rica that shilled it's "unbreakable encryption" to crime groups which the FBI remotely broke into and snatched all the keys.
Another way into BES is of course via stupidity, such as Nicola Nero the crime boss police caught a few years ago in Ontario who had written his password on a memo and left it beside his BlackBerry phone because he kept forgetting it. They busted a global mafia ring from that one mistake.
Impossible to get steady ingredients due to the embargo and low incomes, most restaurants I ate at there would make do with whatever they could secure for that week.
Clinton's FOIA emails are full of Soros literally giving orders to her and other reps. Use Wikileaks archive to read them/search for Soros.
He's also bought electronic voting corps and managed to get them into primaries like Utah. There were all kinds of shenanigans with them recently like denial of service to some voters.
They built thousands of tiny self contained units in my city and they're all on AirBnB for $125+/night. The problem is foreign buyers speculating on all new housing and either keeping them vacant to park money or renting for short term only.
This guarantee doesn't scale very well considering the combined 5 Eyes intel budget is ~60 billion USD and throwing just 0.1% of their budget at negating Tor would completely overwhelm the network with hundreds of thousands of stooge relays, plus they have the added benefit of global backbone cable traps. Tor can't give any kind of guarantee against a global passive adversary (5 Eyes) which is why they specifically warn against believing otherwise.
