Didn't Italians hang the guy that made the trains run on time? What did they expect?

In other words it makes /or could make money of Chrome (depending on investment and years of potential payback ++)

if we had a functioning government a company with 70+% market share would not be able to buy even more market-share. Monopoly and all...

You're writing about him, so he's benefiting. He knows and everyone in his social circle know that he has a painting of DaVinci. His children's friends etc etc. After securing our daily bread and then some, we do things for bragging, pleasure..

Not knowing the buyer, it may also be a way to move cash outa his corrupt country (Russia, China, Saudi Arabia...). 'Whatever happens, I have 2 apartments in NYC, one in Miami and a DaVinci painting i can sell'

Like you said, that area is virtually 100% Catholic, but in all areas, police are MERCILESS with such things. Free speech takes a backseat.

>>“As far as advice goes, when you touch down get a decent knife and keep it on you.”)

Yeah, a woman with a knife. Anything can happen, and crimes of opportunity do happen, but she'll probably be 10 times safer than walking at night in average dangerous US city. For one, anyone touching a tourist--and they have--will be hunted down. He'll end up with bruises for resisting arrest :)

Not to mention that all land became state property about 60 years ago and in early 1990's was distributed to others. Needless to say original owners were not happy.

Today Albania is much safer than NYC, deaths are in most cases targeted (crime groups that go back and forth)

We all agree that "justice" needs to be done. Before there was traditional law and order by the "state": you kill my kin, I killed yours. It kept things in order and fear of revenge made you think twice.

In Albania like in many transitional countries you could escape traditional justice by paying judges. Or the police never did their job as they should. Now, what's one to do when you see the killer walking freely ? It happened in Sicily, Corsica, it happens in Pashtun areas etc etc. It's really simple: No law, revenge takes over.

By the way, this only affects families involved, and in most cases even others inside the family are ruled out: "I only have problems with the person that killed my son, others are free."

Imagine how many enemies, crisis and emperors they had to go through, yet they survived for a very, very long time.

I agree, especially since he gave the same amount to every State AG in the country. He did, right?

In other countries corruption is more honest: want the license to build a building? It will cost you an apartment or $XX,XXX. Personally, I prefer the later...

edit: Thanks for the asnwers. So, Karpeles will have assets and he'll have to answer for his negligence or failure to manage his corp properly. Maybe he'll file for personal bankruptcy before getting any money :)

I assume that they are safeguards: the governor might be able to intervene if an AG goes nuts, the courts etc etc.

The power of government. Missouri can definitely pay for quite a few attorneys (maybe do a tobacco litigation type deal) but the danger is that other states will join in. Having taken on Google can be quite a thing on your resume as you seek higher office...who will resist it?

Tillman was already dead. So no one turned against him (friendly fire happens a lot) they tried to save their ass after he was dead. A mistake, but they didn't kill him on purpose.

100% agree with you. Let me try: they are some people who do horrible, horrible things. Unless they are punished severely, other bad people might not fear the consequences. Death or life in jail is an ongoing discussion among different people

With other, no brand stuff you can expect to get what you pay for. As always.

End justifies the means, ala Bill Gates, type of reasoning. Will make it up to the world /God when I use the FB stock to do good.

BUT, personally I assume that anything I do with a smartphone gets uploaded to the cloud via a permission I mistakenly gave, bug, or they can get hacked. In other words, certain kind of pictures, movies or acts don't (IMO) mix with a smartphone.

Before or after the heart attack for losing everything? Rent is due tomorrow and restitution 4 years later doesn't help much

Bankruptcy laws determine that. Maybe x% a year? Creditors took them to court and at that moment the court takes over. You should have bought more bitcoins at $400 if you believed in it.

Yen vs BTC...maybe the bankruptcy court made that decision? BTC wasn't as popular back than so quite a few may have happy to get back, anything...yen or pesos.
