    By failing to register his business with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network as required by law, disabling “know your customer” features on his bitcoin kiosks, and ensuring that bitcoin customers did not tell him what they did with their bitcoin, among other things, Freeman created a business that catered to fraudsters. By charging exorbitant fees, Freeman made more than a million dollars.

    Freeman and his co-conspirators opened and operated accounts at financial institutions in the names of various churches including the Shire Free Church, the Church of the Invisible Hand, the Crypto Church of New Hampshire, and the NH Peace Church. Freeman instructed bitcoin customers, who were often victims of scams, to lie to the financial institutions and describe their deposits as church donations. From 2016 to 2019, he paid no taxes, and concealed his income from the Internal Revenue Service.

    You have to pay your taxes.....

    • By failing to register his business with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network as required by law

      No one got a chance to vote for this "law", it was criminally foisted upon everyone. This law was made by a violent mafia and it is immoral to impose arbitrary rules on others so it is null and void.

      Freeman made more than a million dollars.

      It is not a crime to make more than a million dollars by defrauding no one.

      Taxes = theft

      • Taxes do not equal theft.

        Some taxes are dubious, and should be challenged in court, income tax is not one of those.

        Grow up and stop being selfish. I'm guessing you pay minimum taxes yourself, if any, and then complain about the state of everything that's a result of selfish and greedy people like you not wanting to contribute to society, only wanting to enrich themselves explicitly at the expense of everyone else.

        • If it is extracted at the point of a gun it is theft. Income taxes is the worst one because it is slavery. At least with sales tax I can choose not to buy anything to avoid it.

          The state of everything we see today is exactly because huge sums of money are going to the parasitic state and they fund criminal activities which degrade society. Sending money to war criminals and pedophiles is not "contributing" to society.

          Government should be strictly limited to a handful of essential services and slapped down hard if it tries to expand beyond this.

        • how much do they pay you?

          You will never be a real woman. You have no womb, you have no ovaries, you have no eggs. You are a homosexual man twisted by drugs and surgery into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.

          All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind closed doors.

          Men are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed men to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even trannies who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a man. Your bone structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk guy home with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your diseased, infected axe wound.

          You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

          Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a man is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably male.

          This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

    • The governmyth argues the church doesnt exist, yet documents filed in NH recognize it as existing. He did require KYC to sell on localbitcoins and the people who were scammed were told to lie to him and instructed on what to say and do to pass the KYC phone interviews he conducted. The governmyth went after him because he spoke out against them, not because he scammed anyone. Hell, one victim was still talking to the scammer and asked the fbi if they wanted their information and were refused. He is a political prisoner who's "crime" was standing up for liberty in the dictatorship the United States is becoming.
