t evenm know, cause they couldn'
t be bothered to find out.

t as inimical to btc biz as i'd previously gathered << where'd you gather that ? reddit ?
mircea_popescu: ie, "but you've signed here that you won'
t do this thing you're doing"
mircea_popescu: and as to why he ponied up, probably bcause it's a laughably small sum, it gives the sec something it already had (i doubt any us citizen can sanely argue that th eauthority of the us govt and its agencies doesn'
t extend to him)
benkay: perhaps the usg isn'
