In the county where I live (not the USA).
You can conduct business (as a hobby, on a small scale) without setting up a proper business entity.
But if you set up a business, the director name and place of business is publicly available.
OG is not small scale. He has sold more coins than most people sell in a lifetime on their hobby store.
Ok, valid point.
If OG was collecting taxes, he would have had to send his tax/business number to everyone he shipped to. He doesn't have one, and has never paid taxes. :/
Hasn't he already replied that he used re-sellers (to lazy to find quote).
And then the only time he would have to send his tax/business would be to sell the coin in bulk to re-seller.
Then the re-seller ship with their own tax number to end users.
I personally understand why he wouldn't want to revel his details to the forum.
Who knows what people could find and then show up at his house.
Maybe he didn't do a good job hiding his details/Id when he set up his business (I know I didn't, I would do thing differently now, using trusts and 3rd party directors).
Also, question to you Vod,
-please do not take it a personal attack-.
Don't you think that (collectively) you guys do a big deal out of this situation.
People do lie (I am not saying that you, or he lied, no accusation in my words, I followed/read the whole story, but it is just to big to fully, my brain is melting ),
people have lied and will lie in the future. Nothing we can do about it. Bill Clinton lied (Monica Lewinsky)
George W bush lied (MDW)
Donald Duck is lying on a daily basis
The current state of the forum / meta looks like the cold war of the 1950/1990.
