He (incorrectly) thinks he can buy his way out of it when it matters. And I have no sympathy for him, fwiw. If it was just his house burning, I’d bring popcorn.

No, he won’t. He will promise any amount and pay half of that to a lawyer to weasel out with some bullshit legalese.

Obviously in true ancap fashion, he’ll need to put the agreed payment in multisig escrow up front. Only an outlaw would refuse!

Any amount, you say?

Even more than what it would cost in taxes?
