<+bounce> I'm not asking whether they would be donating anything. I'm asking whether, in case some company would like to donate and deduct, they can do it with off-shore money --- well, they can't bring it back without paying their due. i suppose they could donate within the host country though.

Because committed transactions are irreversible, stolen Bitcoins are valuable and nearly laundered."
