Thanks for your comment. That is an interesting story and something to think about. What is the loophole at the moment? Not that I want to get involved in anything shady. A lot of the time with start-ups there is a lot of risk with the possibility of massive rewards, however there has to be safer options(medium risk) without getting a corporate job or being a contractor.

Bittorent and Bitcoin make a millionaire every week, it's high risk though. You could start a tracker like Demonoid and your only job would be to move the servers around and cover your tracks (ie: pay with visa gift cards, use chained proxies)

Another high risk option is becoming a vendor on Silk Road. Those guys are getting more orders than they can handle. Even the guys who just resell/repackage are making a killing.

You could even open your own Silk Road, which is lower risk than being a vendor. Just collect your small fee off every transaction, while staying completely anonymous.

Most of this stuff probably seems pretty shady to most people. But anyone with 10-20k, some balls and smarts can become a millionaire from it, very quickly.
