      Even if he did, any funds would be frozen. A Monero Address would be a better way of receiving money.

      Edit: Mind you, I expect him to very soon be arrested, so he wouldn’t really have any time to enjoy it.

      Edit 2: Look up Jim Bell. He wrote a very popular essay in the 90s.

        This is one of the things that scares me about most about completely anonymous currencies and networks: untraceable kill orders and, to a lesser extent, unlimited bribery (that already exists in US). Because you know, it opens the most possibilities to people with money. Like billionaires.

          I suspect billionaires and other people of high authority, especially, would be the first ones on the list. But your average everyday person is very unlikely to be on the list because they don’t have enough people who hate them.

            I’m not sure we would outweigh them - you know the statistics, almost half the wealth (potential kill orders) is held by top 1.1%.

      Don’t get scammed but if he ever needs a legal defense fund, I think the plebs can figure it out.

      He did job well, least we can do it pay respects
