I don't see how money laundering should be illegal unless there's a legal requirement to show all sources of money for anyone. is that required?

And the last $20 from my paycheck I gave to this bum named ralph down the corner...

Look up the history of it...

i assume after prohibition where they had to pick a new bad guy = drugs. they used the term money laundering more and more often

Actually it started in 70s and took off in the 80s, I'm no historian about it so I would welcome deeper insights than what I have read on the internet. You can get anything I know from googling. It was eye opening to realize this "crime" was not considered so for most of human history.

Kim Dotcom would be charged of money laundering if he accepted bitcoin ...it is likely that at least, until he solve his problems, he wont accept bitcoin.

That's my bet.

As I said before in another thread, it's just not in Kim's best interest to accept BTC when releasing the service.

If it is accepted immediately at release it would not generate additional publicity since that is already saturated as it is.
Should he decide however to use it at a later date it would give the service additional publicity.

No mention of payment options, nor Bitcoin though Sad

That suspicious, it is typical announcing payment systems available Roll Eyes

Kim has to bear in mind not only in the inmediate advantages of accepting Bitcoin. If he is really a enterpreneur minded person, has to think a step forward over his future rivals.

Imagine if Mega starts running the cloud crypto service and all the supporters or collaborators start getting in trouble with paypal, with their banks, in order to get their work paid. If only a next rival starts a similar service, and offers payments in bitcoins, all the "cloud" will change to the new service to avoid problems.

I think it's necessary. More than that, it's a must if he wants to mantain superiority over competitors, and of course, to avoid getting his funds seized again.

If mega were to accept BTC there would be serious hints out by now.
It's a 100% rumour without any basis in reality.

I expect a huge crash on the 20th

Frankly, only complete idiots would buy BTC in expectation of an announcement based on an unfounded rumour from a 3rd party which they have no relationship to.

This community has done some stupid things in the past, but I don't hink it's that stupid.



I'm quoting this. Just in case.  Grin

He meant to say he expects a huge "bubble" on the 20th. Bubbles are everywhere, you see, every time bitcoin fluctuates Smiley (Even just a little bit!)

Bubble up, bubble down, bubble sideways. (Nah, not really.)

I don't believe this is causing buying so I don't think it will drop price much if any.

There are many other people adopting Bitcoin along with all of the coins slowly leaving weaker hands.

The problem with taking in as much revenue as he would through Bitcoin is cashing it out. Totally impossible today, even if you utilized all the on and off-exchange markets...including Coinabul.
If Mega customers are buying bitcoins to pay for their subscription and Kim will have no trouble at all selling his.
