Boycotting games until Arte is out for bringing the team into disrepute, using earmarked funds to participate in #thehobby instead. ⚾️, Crypto, buy wax.
@35auburn@JunkWaxHero79@BenMBurrows This is why you need an actual fiduciary on your side paid by you to interact with auction houses when you're selling at that price level. The auction house may have possession without title, but that alone a consignee does not make. Fiduciary would ask for underbidder info asap.
@reviewjournal That part is discretionary (NRS 211.200 et seq), but the other part - court ordering release of defendant on bond - is not. They may monitor (or not), but police playing judge is fundamentally dangerous since the police derive enforcement authority from courts.
@JunkWaxQueen@CardsMax That's so not true, I mean, for one, nobody gets convicted when it's a civil matter, and secondly, RICO always turns into a gigantic mess since it's next level inchoate and really unless you are re-running La Cosa Nostra AUSAs just use wire fraud (before this admin).
@MikesUpperDeck1 Anyone with a lawyer has an advantage over consumers who don't read the ToS, which is like 99% of the time. No real easy cases, but it's more winnable than a federal criminal prosecution before this current administration, and people do win those too.
@SportsCollector Interestingly, in Nevada the construction is:
Bargain for exchange: valuable consideration for chance of obtaining prize or share. The lottery is complete when the distribution commences or would commence. It's much closer to common law fraud, since we gamble. Lottos are illegal.
@35auburn Context probably pretty important: the CCP's capital controls is basically creating a situation where nearly everyone who can leave are laundering money in some way, and going through HK is still viable... sorta. Triads exist in a liminal space and are CCP-affiliated so.. legal?
@toppsroyalty150 @WaxMetrix@Topps By the way, everyone can join DealernetX and if you want to individually make their profit margins nonexistent, with enough capital you absolutely can.
@vxunderground In the south they call everyone honey. Or at least they definitely are pretty loose with the word so that you can count on being referred to as such regardless of how you look at least at some point.
@JunkWaxQueen@ThoseBackPages Counterpoint: The Hobby has no police because the term is used to encompass one's subjective notion of what it consists of. You and everyone else is of course free to chime in on their relationship to their collection, but to prescribe gatekeeping -> "who died..?"
@RussoStories @Paul_Lesko Uh, Fanatics building a bigger room so they can buy up MLB's game used stock to flip at 4x the price, you mean? I'm pro-market but Fanatics is all about artificially inflating prices via exclusivity deals. And selling redemptions that people gave up on as one would after a year.
@H4ckmanac The FBI has basically no credibility now after acting with such incompetence as they've relied on perjury and literal nonsense to admit inadmissibly nonsensical evidence through BS experts from forensics to crypto over the last 15 years. So I bet this is for some DMCA BS.
@ilzizzo Because it is discussed aplenty elsewhere. Also, pure NFT cards and tokenized NFTs should have separate sections, as they are functionally separate and if the law actually matters, one would be a security and one wouldn't. And the one without regulatory risk has obv upsides.
@WatchTheBreaks The AI failed to appreciate that you're not talking about securities. There's a whole separate set of laws including insider trading that only applies to securities. Cards are not securities, period. But if it defrauds a victim, that's... quite serious. Also, that's the charge.
@WatchTheBreaks That is wrong. Shill bidding itself is neither legal nor illegal but simply unaddressed by criminal law. However, if the shill bid succeeds in defrauding a genuine bidder, it becomes a case of (wire, usually) fraud, a felony.
But if it fails, it's not illegal to act a fool. USA!
@35auburn@NEOCards_Comics@JunkWaxHero79@DanTheCardsMan Alternatively, shill bid -> fails to actually bait anyone -> not criminal, but tragically incompetent. Although since they had enough leverage to get a plea that likely didn't happen, but if you shill bid, that's the alternative scenario.
@jimfurtado Season is long and injuries will pile up. A signing window will screw up a lot of careers. You want some double A guy playing in the WS? Put in a window. Nobody wants to see that.
