this is for what country? USA i presume? if it come to other country it will be a disaster, hopefully openbazar is on track

"The Swedish Tax Authority" Looks like the Swedes, I thought they were known for the money hiding freedom there?

The EU was giving the Swiss banks hell for hiding money that had not been declared to the tax man. I'm not sure if the Swedish banks get up to the same tricks though. Swiss banks are a well known tax haven, but I don't know about the Swedish ones.

Switzerland's probably friendlier to bitcoin businesses.
Oh looks like I am showing my American ignorance I had confused the two, my bad  Embarrassed

This kind of request typically comes from police, they traced some criminal activities and end up with this company's account. But tracing bitcoin is useless, as soon as they are sent to an exchange in another country, they will disappear, and police or tax authority have no rights over an exchange in another country

Maybe exchanges should start deleting old wallet information. Are they required by law to store withdraw and deposit addresses?


if the exchange is a swedish exchange dealing with FIAT, it has to follow swedish FIAT rules.

if its just an bitcoin->altcoin exchange.. so far it dont matter, after all people trade different casino poker chips between each other without regulation

So now all the people who have used the bitcoins for money laundering and gambling will be in trouble. It's a great step to stop these kind of illegal activities and if bitcoins get regulated, it will become a recognized currency soon.

Sounds like you are confusing Sweden with Switzerland.

UK, Ukraine apparently but you never know until it happens so much lies within crypto, the uk chancellor has already set it up to start the studies to see what they can do next month so that is as close to truth as you can get. This is just exchanges though so i don't think it is to big of a deal.

Openbazar is not an exchange the closest thing to what you are thinking of is night trader and bithalo which is already out, plus Bitbay decentralized markets which have already came out today can be used as a trusted exchange.

I guess that depends on the country they're based. I suppose rules regulating the banking sector apply, so that makes several years.

Now, this is another proof that Sweden (like all Scandinavian countries) is tax hell. Time to move to heaven.

Just horrible. Who do they think that they are? They're pretty much striping us out of our rights over the years.
Now I wonder, how do most people not see this? It's quite obvious that the government is working against us.
They can demand anything they want, that doesn't mean that they will get anything.

Can I sue the Swedish tax authority for abusing my basic human rights Smiley?

Can you sue them for not wanting to pay your taxes? Seeing as it's apparently a Swedish exchange they'll probably be able to get the details of anyone that used it.

Scary news indeed. I wish btc-x win the case in court. I find it easy to understand that this is only a beginning of cases like that. After all EVERY government in existence would like to tax bitcoin and every other cryptocurrency. And the war just began.

The UK have started the ball rolling to regulate the exchanges so it will be very tight in the next few years, i have a question if anyone knows then thanks in advance. What if decentralized exchanges come out around the same time, they won't be able to tax then will they only if you come forward? I am all for some regulation but don't be taxing us all and don't be backdating it lol

If they win this, I can expect that an American law firm will sue them for some big bucks.
I think / hope that some smart people will stop this before they do this big international f*kup.

To be honest this isn't surprising. What is surprising is that more Government's tax departments havent already started doing this. I think a lot of these exchanges don't comply with AML and KYC laws so they're probably going to come after them sooner or later because it's far too easy to launder cash with bitcoins at the moment.
