They are probably waiting for the Statute of Limitations to expire. For wire fraud that is 10 years.

- frombody 6y agoI believe in Hong Kong it's 12 years for criminal charges and 6 years for civil charges.
- gowld 6y agoFencing stolen property is a fresh crime with a new countdown.
- gscott 6y agoIt would be easy to use satellites to find the person with hundreds of Tesla's in their front yard.

- dheera 6y agoMeaningless unless they fix the BTC price of the Tesla
- backtoyoujim 6y agoNot meaningless for taxes
- dheera 6y agoHow so? If I bought a Tesla with Bitcoin apparently I'd be forced to pay short-term capital gains even though I'm using it as just a payment currency. Doesn't sound like a good deal tax-wise. If Tesla gave me an equivalent discount on the BTC price though, that would change the game.
- atat7024 6y agoThey want BTC. They don't want you to buy BTC and spend it with them. That's not what they're incentivizing.

- cm2187 6y agoBut that wouldn’t make those bitcoins theirs legally, would it?
- Black101 6y agoDoes the limitation resets if you move the funds publicly?
- retrac 6y agoCase law on Bitcoin is still new. No guarantees depending on the jurisdiction, but I would figure most common law regions would not see it that way. The obvious analogy is moving the stolen funds between your accounts and publishing info about that. The limitation period on the fraud would still be from when the fraud was initially discovered by its rightful owner.
- kelnos 6y agoI wonder if some jurisdiction has a law against transporting stolen goods, and someone could twist that into saying that moving the coins from one address to another qualifies, and consider that a new crime, with the clock starting today.
