I am sure you guys can come up with some creative, interesting, fun ideas to do with this information. Here are the 186 ($42,222.00 as of this posting) Bitcoins taken from me by Homeland Security:I am sure you guys can come up with some creative, interesting, fun ideas to do with this information. Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security. Read all about it here: http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/ Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

Hero MemberActivity: 798Merit: 1000Move On !!!!!! Re: Follow the Bitcoins taken from me by Homeland Security September 16, 2015, 01:55:12 PM #3 This is disgusting, what else can I say. I am sorry BurtW that this has happened to you and thanks God I don't live anymore in the US, the land of free, the land of opportunity(this I say with the highest degree of irony, of course).



I hope you will get back in your feet somehow. I surely hop you are not done with Bitcoin. I also wish that you fight those a**holes with the best attorneys possible, unfortunately I don't see how this will be possible when you are essentially going against the government.



Good luck!

You are a lucky guy, Uncle Sam took from you only money, not your life nor beloved ones as he did to millions of innocent people around the globe. Say fuck you to your passed ancestors whose deeds led to the current state of things, say sorry to native americans who were slayed to free the space for newcomers with guns. And better run off the land of the free... You are a lucky guy, Uncle Sam took from you only money, not your life nor beloved ones as he did to millions of innocent people around the globe.

Tax evasion ?



You can read all about it here:

and, of course, here:

tl;dr: I was charged with operating a money transmittal business without a licence for my trading activity on localbitcoins.com. (profile)



Defending myself cost me almost $300,000. We had to mortgage our house and cash in our retirement savings in order to pay the three separate law firms I had to hire (one for the criminal case against me, one for the plethora of civil cases against the seized property and one for the possible IRS case against me). However, since I have paid all the taxes on my gains from Bitcoin trading and mining there is no tax evasion.



BTW: none of the expenses involved, physical damage to our home during the search and seizure, damage to our business, attorney's fees, the $80K forfeiture, etc. are tax deductible.
