Presumably the BTC, or at least some of it can be traced if the investigators were motivated, skilled and had the means. In this particular case concerning a dodgy exchange from South Africa, the answers would be no, no and no.

"We don't know" ... oh heavens.... of course they don't know :D If it were my money I know exactly where I'd start looking for it.

As the saying goes, "a fool and his money". Those two are long gone to go live it large in the Middle East or Asia.

There's a money printing circus around the world today. It's an eventual race to the bottom. At some point - not just yet - the wheels may come off, the fiat may become increasingly worthless and it will become more and more difficult for the more powerful and militarised countries to keep...

For one thing, Chinese design & manufacture the highest performing bitcoin miners and the way that scene tends to work is that they run those systems mining for themselves until their next generation hardware is ready, after which they sell off their legacy tech systems into the free-market for...

Hehe, well, what does the term "Western" even mean anymore today? The controllers and rulers of the (former) Western Empires cannot tear them down from the inside soon enough, meaning, does the term "anti-Western" today refer to former Western Civilisation or to the ruling classes of that...

It's a pity one cannot trace stim money and see directly where it goes. Many of these people may have already had trading accounts but would have lacked the funds to go wild in the casino. To put it another way, many of these folks may have been less inclined to gamble money they had to work...

It sometimes feels like everything from booze, to films to money is being infantilised.

How do you test these for authenticity? Ultrasound?

What the actual state of affairs at the Perth Mint are is difficult to ascertain but if it were me investing my money in pm's, I'd expect delivery upon payment. I can appreciate why others may have reasons not to take delivery and would rather leave the management of their property to third...

A view here that stimulus money has had a major impact on cryptos. Particularly in countries such as the US. Imo another reason the crypto-sphere has been riding high recently is because of the infinite money printing and stimchecks filtering its way through the economy. Scrubs sitting at home...

Just be careful how and in what you save and have a contingency plan.

One would assume so, business is business.

Property (and you better check very carefully where you buy and beware of Section 8 and socialist local government policies which may lead to future deteriorating property market conditions) & paying off the mortgage asap and getting out of that debt is what I would concentrate on. Needless to...

Another view from Sprott My layman's understanding of the article TL;DR Sprott appears to believe that the holdings of physical don't match the moneys in accounts on deposit at Perth Mint. Should all owners demand immediate delivery it would not be possible to fulfil all orders, at least...

That lack of enthusiasm in the labour force for work may be a hangover from the stimcheck helicopter money bonanza so grab those $$ while the going is good and don't forget to stack. \m/ My best guess is that cryptos were riding high on stimcheck money. I'd be concerned that once that starts...

Yeah I guess it comes down to a preferred investment strategy. As you say there is something to be said for making investment processes more efficient with regards to investment vehicles that already share similar risk levels. Spreading the risk around may be the way to go, meaning, keep at...

I generally agree but I'm always wary about the "backed up by gold" type claims because there is usually no way to verify any of this. Why do I say that? There are many "backed by gold" type claims from investment products like ETF's. The problem always comes back to the same question, that...
