Everyone is reporting a tax rise. Do the arithmetic and Germany is cutting the top rate for active traders by nineteen points, from 45% to 26.375%. The people getting hit are the ones who buy and sit on it, which until now was the whole point of holding crypto in Germany. Hold a coin in Germany for twelve months and one day and the gain is yours, untaxed, no cap, no form, no rate to look up. That rule has quietly made Germany the best place in Europe to be a long-term crypto holder, and it was never designed for…

His lawyers contend the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled in June that the trial judge had made reasonable decisions about evidence that could be raised in court, agreed with allowing evidence of customers losing “large sums of money” while stopping Bankman-Fried “from rebutting that suggestion — that is, showing that there were always more than enough assets available to repay customers (as they now have been repaid, with substantial interest).” The filing added that the appeals court’s “approval of the crushing fine here also warrants this Court’s consideration,” arguing that the Constitution’s language on excessive fines “enshrines the…
