Britain has new law - money of uknown origin can be expropriated

| British parliament has passed a new law - now if wealth of unknown origin found in possesion of a "politically important person" it can be taken away by special commision if amount exceeds 71k $. Politically important persons are ex- and on-duty officials, Mayors, Gov.Corporations headmanagers, etc.


| Basically an indirect ban to cryptocurrencies...


| >>136400 or not didn't see the "politically important person" part


| >>136401
Nah. More like discouragement for back-pocket deals


| 71k seems oddly specific haha


| >>136846 yeah like the guys who approved probably said, "the most I stole from the people was 70k so let's make the law's minimum 71k"


| >>136848 >>136846
Nothing specific, its just that 50k british punds is equal 71k american dollars


| >>136856 makes sense too


| >>136401
Next law: A „political important person“ is also someone who owns financial property over 71k $.


| >>138373
I can see this happening if said politically important person spent that amount of money on lobbying.

Otherwise, this shouldn't apply to anyone else, given that you could argue that anyone who owns their own home is a "politically important person." (A cheap home is like 100,000 USD.)


| >>136856 oh yeah thanks for clearing that up, I should have thought about it before casually accusing ppl.. oh well
