        Even if he did, any funds would be frozen. A Monero Address would be a better way of receiving money.

        Edit: Mind you, I expect him to very soon be arrested, so he wouldn’t really have any time to enjoy it.

        Edit 2: Look up Jim Bell. He wrote a very popular essay in the 90s.

        Don’t get scammed but if he ever needs a legal defense fund, I think the plebs can figure it out.

        He did job well, least we can do it pay respects

      When society gets to the point where you will die if you don’t do anything … or you will die if you do something …

      Eventually people realize that they will be punished, threatened or endangered no matter what they do or don’t do, some people will come to the conclusion that they would rather go down fighting.

      If you’re going to get screwed doing nothing, some would rather go out on a blaze of glory because they no longer have anything to lose.

        I am assuming that when this guy is caught, what we will find out is that his wife had cancer and died from it and they refused to honor their claims or something like that.

          Dealing with insurance with a nonfatal chronic illness can also be infuriating. You have to keep fighting the same battle over and over and over again.

          Or perhaps himself dying of a treatable disease they refused to pay for. He’ll be a hero either way, the question is how much.
