I can meet you halfway and mention basketball.

I think it's more that if you're going to use a sledgehammer there better be some clearly positive results.

We were promised major disclosures on a whole host of things and other than the JFK stuff it's basically been crickets.

Elon's hyped up all this wasted spending and then they pass an even bigger spending bill.

It looks like a clown show and no one (barring a few exceptions) is getting what they wanted.

Ha! I tried to cash out, but got a warning about high fees. So, I waited until I had won some more sats and tried to cash out again, only to learn you can only cash out during the first half of the month.

Now I’ve lost most of my sats, so I’m back on the treadmill.

It’s still fun, but they’re pretty damn sheistery.

I can relate. I've heard plenty of fairly unhinged concerns over the past few months.

Haha! @grayruby finished last.

Congrats @Carresan!

I've largely just opted out of flying.

Yes, it did turn out to be 50 days, but would you expect to have that long?

If so, your strategy might be fine.

A lien would definitely require a legal judgement, but that would come pretty automatically when you failed to pay back the money that wasn't yours.

You'd possibly also owe income taxes on the amount you didn't pay back. It would be a real mess.

If you couldn't get a lot of it out at once and get out of extradition range, I don't think it would be worth trying anything.

The "Do something" could have just been more secure cockpits and sky marshals on some flights. This was insane and intensely unpopular right from the start...but then people just got used to it.

Those who actually care about due process are a tiny minority.

This is more than 20 years overdue.

They fail every security assessment they're put through and they've made travel so much worse.

Good point, but wire transfers exist for some reason, so it must not be easy to transfer sufficiently large amounts out of a bank for normal people.

That is an exciting prospect. Let me know if you're even getting close to needing a part time consultant.

I could probably pull that off with a little advance notice.

Slow and steady might lose you everything, too. They'll just put a lien on your future earnings until you pay it back.

I also wouldn't assume that I'd get very many days before the mistake was caught and a few days worth of maximum withdrawals wouldn't be sufficiently life changing to justify the risk.

Yeah, time is the problem with the daily limits.

There might be no better way than just going in and making a wire transfer to an offshore account. Obviously, that will involve someone at the bank, but maybe they don't go any further than verifying the balance (the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing).

I know, but I mean that I would love to be able to attempt diving into it full time. Not at all a practical arrangement for my family though, not to mention you'll surely find someone more qualified at a lower price.

Gosh, I wish I were in a position where I could pursue something like this.

I'm happy to consult (or offer unsolicited advice) for free/V4V, though.
