You aint gonna get rich off this, boy. If Snowden would sell the book online via Bitcoin and then have it shipped from wherever to the customers. How would they seize that money from him even if they got a judgment against him??
- munk-a 7y agoEvading the ability for law enforcement to track your activities isn't the same as following the law - I agree with a lot of other folks that this lawsuite is BS, but covertly shipping the book would give the US Government a pretty big motivation to just seize Snowden's assets.
- kelnos 7y agoThey're not looking to get rich. They're just looking to keep more money out of Snowden's hands. Even if they fail to do so (sales outside the US's jurisdiction, or paid with crypto), they have yet another thing to pile onto his record that they might be able to use as leverage against him in the future.
- bdcravens 7y ago> How would they seize that money from him even if they got a judgment against him?? They wouldn't. But in the event he ever has assets they can touch they have an enforceable judgment against those assets. (For example, if he ever chose to hire a US attorney for any reason, they government could sue the attorney for any amounts paid to them)
