It's a nice change reading the comments, men praising bitcoin for this (rather than the usual PONZI SCAM bs). haha.

This isn't unique to bit coin. People hide assets in divorces all the time. Yet another clueless writer trying to point out problems that have nothing to do with bit coin.

Bank records? If you take a bit out over time and put it in bitcoins nobody will know if you're smart about it. And ATMs are not the only place to buy coins.

And Bitcoin works in the respect that you can keep the money safe and anonymous. There's no IRS audit nor can anyone sieze the funds by force.
But a lot of the time, relationships deteriorate very quickly; so it's hard to slowly siphon away money. And the more money that is moved quickly, the harder it can be to obfuscate all those tracks. Also, the amount owed is not necessarily based on traceable assets but also by income (and sometimes by backlogged income) which adds to the trickiness.

Anyhow, the quick and easy solution naturally is to just get a pre-nup.

"A number of forums devoted to Bitcoin have been filled with husbands discussing the option of using digital currencies, a London divorce lawyer has claimed."


I've been on here for over 2 years and this is the first topic I've seen on this?

Daily Mail, lol

Lurk more haha. There's only been a couple. I probably couldn't find them on a search but there was one in off-topic 2-3 months ago or so.

Perhaps if the legal system was fair this would not need to happen

Bank records and they'll throw you in prison.

Coin ATMs only take like $3K a month.  So this story is likely bullchit

This is a bit silly considering anyone with access to money can put it anywhere. Gold, silver, cash ect.

It also doesn't mean that you still won't owe your ex-spouse the money from the judgement. I don't really see how bitcoin changes much is that regard.

What would be funny is lots of family law firms accepting bitcoin payments. Tongue

I'm sure you'll change your tune if you were in that situation. Divorces can get pretty messy/bitter very quick.

Yup, if you suspect a divorce is in the air just cash out all you can and move it. That's of course if she was a total bitch, I don't think I'd want my wife to go with empty pockets after years of marriage.
