Given how much higher the iOS app sales are, it seems like Apple is providing very significant value for that 30% cut of theirs

Well, Romanian passports aren't uncommon among Russians in London. It's just not a very official scheme.

Why would COVID be perfect cover for giving up your US citizenship? It might be good cover for getting another, sure.

It's pretty hard to travel with a Russian passport, easier to get another citizenship than spend time on visa applications. Not for tax purposes, they're tax resident in Dubai.

What did Brexit change for St. Kitts nationals? I hold a St. Kitts passport (via marriage) and completely missed this. Only reason my wives family got St. Kitts passports was because it was easier and quicker than Cyprus at the time, but th

Less hassle with visas? If you want to avoid taxation there are better places to go than Cyprus. People go to Cyprus specifically because they want a Schengen passport.

FWIW Cyprus is kind of a shithole, so it's not exactly like "buying an expensive home anywhere in the world". These people want the citizenship, not the real estate. Not that I think there's anything wrong with this, pro

Well, that's certainly the case on the more business-oriented forums. People regularly trust each other with hundreds of thousands based on reputation alone.

The big problem with these studies tends to be that the authors are not familiar enough with the business to be able to gain access to the actually interesting forums, at the very least they could pay for an exploit.in account

>Being centrist I can relate to parts of both sides but my experience is they both dislike centrists. Is Biden not a centrist? He seems to be a right-of-center christian democrat like Merkel for example.

A Finnish court just ordered a seizure of almost 10 million euros worth of assets from the ex-CEO and his family. Investors believe that he knew about the breach but covered it up, so now they're trying to claw back their money. https

There's a big difference between the GRU and the SVR and the FSB. There's an even bigger difference between GRU and the IRA. These are completely different things, it's downright silly to imply otherwise. IRA staffers certain

The real issue with these indictments is that they put US operators in a tough position. These are military hackers following lawful orders. We are not dealing with criminal acts, but diplomatic issues. Foreign powers are more than capable
