| And although the banks I have worked for are small community banks (the current is nearing the 1 billion dollar asset size, which far dwarfs the first one I worked for), they still do amazingly similar to larger banks, as they are all regulated to death and back. Which is, in a way, ironic...all the regulation just "assures" they are "sound" and looks less at "is this on the up and up". Anyway, I apologize for implying that all banks are guilty of straight up theft. |

能骗就骗 is life. (Essentially meaning: If you can cheat and not get caught do it. Cunning and clever are the same thing )
It's not wrong, either.
International finance is a bit bigger than everyday American problems lol. |

| I've always marveled at how, in America at least, financial crimes are often pursued, prosecuted, and then carry heavier penalties that other crimes, including violent crimes. We seem to be so beholden to suckling the capitalist teat and government taxing that suckling, that the worst thing you can do, almost, is to make money and attempt to hide it from taxation. And then, ironically, the same government with such a hard on for taxing that money is the power that creates money (banking notwithstanding, as even though it is state and federally regulated, retail banks are privately chartered. In short: humans do some dumb, ed up at the expense of other humans. Always have, always will...unfortunately. |

I will confess total ignorance: how do they do it where you are, Jay? |

Canadians are not taxed on income earned abroad once they are gone 6 months plus a day. In China? Asked not to be paid in China. The beauty of living in a bunch of places is that you pick up a couple of accounts along the way. China will ask how you live to justify you being in the country without a "job" a few years, but a foreign account statement shuts them up.
As long as your debit and credit cards work in the country you need them to, it doesn't really matter where they were issued, does it? It's all perfectly legal too. (Well, minus in China, but them. The only way to prosper is to hustle there) |

| Roger that, mang, rock on. I have far too much social anxiety to ever travel, work, and/or live abroad, so I will never have personal experience with the various "loopholes" (for lack of a better word) that you describe, but I am not surprised in the least that they exist. That's another thing us humans seems to be good at: codifying a quagmire of bull laws that lend themselves to abuse. |

| You sound like such a lol. I went on a ing hunger strike for 6 days until the chink screws allowed my wife to bring me bread, peanut butter, and let me smoke. They threatened to forced tube feed me and still put me through hell while I was there, but grow a spine and start eating peanut butter, brah. |

Man, I would love to be able to argue otherwise, but you summed me up in a word. I have known it as far back as I can remember, and I have carried the immense shame of knowing this since I can remember...but neither changes that fact: I am, indeed, a "". I don't know what to do other than own it. In fact, were it not for worrying it would hurt or I'd it up (aka, if not for being a huge )...I'd have taken myself out of the picture LONG ago...when I was single digit age, in fact. |

Bull.
Start with a Kumite with all of the Teddy Bears in the house and slowly work your way up to larger and more aggressive opponents.
Also suggest Testogel and dick pills. Big fan of both, personally. Throw your old lady a hard grunt bone and remind her who is boss.
Go to work in a pink shirt and just stink eye all the hillbillies giving you suss.
The possibilities are endless. Reach for the lasers. Safe as ! |
