my college roommate is now a successful executive. 3 months ago he found out his wife was fxxking a black guy behind his back and his 5-year-old daughter.

since then he has kept quiet and converted as much asset as possible to about 850 bitcoins.

he just sprung the divorce on his ex-wife and now her lawyer is arguing he must have much more money than he claims to be.

the judge ordered he must turn over all his assets to give one half to his ex-wife.

does the court have right of access to his bitcoin wallet?

Sorry to hear that about your friend, Isn't the law on the man's side when it's the wife who's at fault?

I thought we had "gender equality" !

He can always claim he lost his money in online gambling or something

Pretty sure the NSA already knows he has the money Cheesy

. I'm not sure if "cryptocurrency" is considered an asset though, have he tried contacting a lawyer?

Is skin color of the guy relevant to the story?

no, it is not relevant.

that is why i omitted his skin color and his wife's skin color and his daughter's skin color.

Married guys should jump all over to the idea of bitcoins, it's another great use for cryptos. Wives these days aren't easy to control, not like the good old times, 19th century, oh well, technology comes to rescue. You guys should use 1) DNA analysis to find out who the real father is and now 2) use bitcoins to give a middle finger to an unfaithful wife in case of divorce. Attack and defense mechanisms parallel development, so to say. What other technological achievements progress can bring us? We can only dream and embrace them as they come. Stay tuned.

In western societies there are less and less incentives for men to get married these days. But if you do, at least do it right, with the technology on your side.

easy on the woman bashing.

ps - if she married him for his money, be probably married her for her t&a. risky move; you'll probably get burned

Agreed. I think all those comments about "unfairness of the system" and "cheating wive" and what else are not appropriate here. I got married myself two months ago (without a contract, which means community ownership of assets in my country, AFAIK). I'm aware of this and we decided that is what we want, and so be it. I'm not going to whine about that or try to work my ways around the law if we should get divorced (although I feel this is highly unlikely).

That said, while I'm not a lawyer, I suppose that your buddy "must" also pay her part of the Bitcoins (especially if he has converted their common assets to Bitcoins he wants to keep for himself). Whether they can force that is another thing, but he should be very careful about hiding the tracks and coming up with a good explanation as to what became of the money, I suppose.

Not if he can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the dood was 100% black. Interracial fxxking is a Class C felony. Unless it's filmed for pr0nz, in which case it's just hawt.

If he does not disclose all of his assets and it is later found that he knowingly withheld that information he would go to prison.

He could, however, list it among a long list of items such as this:

Lexus
18 Ping Golf clubs
1 Lenovo with 2Gig of Ram, 300 BTC, 2.4 GHz CPU, 2TB SSD
1 iPhone 4
100 BTU space heater
...

So his wife cheat and now he has to give her half of his net worth. And if he don't he can go to jail, and the court can have scrutiny on all of his fucking like.
That's FUCKING SCARRY. America, what have you become?

Haha this is the American dream :
Get more wealth at any cost. Live for yourself and fuck the rest.

Very bad. Always use a prenup - if her motives are pure, she won't object. If they are impure, it tells you something important before marriage.

It isn't only the US either

In the UK prenuptial agreements guarantee nothing when it comes to divorce court, so it's even worse than the US.

True. If a woman is in love, the pre-nup won't be a slightest problem. If she's not, run, Forrest, run

You guys have some crazy laws in your part of the planet.

The United States is a bad country to be married in.

First I think it is crazy that a court can make you share your assets with your ex-wife. You guys have some crazy laws in your part of the planet. I hear Berlusconni has to pay millions of Euros every month to his ex-wife as "alimony". I just don't see what the justification is for something like that.

The laws are the same in almost all the countries... I am talking about US, Canada, EU nations, Russia & CIS, Australia & NZL, India and even China.
