    It’s possible that it’s the perfect crime. Because this is definitely fraud, but as long as it’s a sovcit going after you you have a high chance if beating them in a court of law as long as you have lawyer. Because they will be self representing and spouting complete insanity. You do have a pretty high chance of getting shot though, so do all your business online.

      I’m seriously thinking on it. Seriously. Surely a first-year law student could form a disclaimer that would pass muster.

      “This product/service/whatever is not legal for use by citizens of the United States of America. This product/service/whatever confers no legal, uh, anything, in an American court of law.”

      “Not legal tender.”, sort of thing. My god, you could take these people with monopoly money.

      At this point I’m tired of being a decent, moral man. Why should I not grift these idiots? Why should I not print up Trump flags and Jesus flags? I could sleep at night taking these idiot’s money.

      They also have to find you when you get the IDs made in HongKong, The passports in Malaysia, all shipped to Uzbekistan in packaging that clearly says “movie props” where they are packaged up and shipped to the customers with no return address, the website is hosted in moldovia and you only accept payment in bitcoin.

      I’m not a lawyer nor do I know anything about anything.

      But this is an excellent opportunity to look into shell companies, and forming a double llc. It allows you to keep your personal information out of the public.

      Lawsuits are laughable and can be ignored with a lawyer. Unless you really fuck up because you made your corporate seal look too similar to a actual government one, customers suing you would be dismissed or can be ignore.
