      I think it’s not censorship, just intentionally masking it like this, probably to avoid it being immediately flagged by OCR.

          Yeah, okay, I’ll somewhat agree on that one, but I was commenting on the “failed” part - it’s not like someone else (or OP from the screenshot) was unsuccessful in masking it - it was deliberately masked enough to mess with automated flagging systems, but not enough to even start being ambiguous or unclear (like it would be with actual censorship). So… “task failed successfully”? I dunno.

    I think the most interesting thing about drug markets is how stable they are compared to real life markets. Even as the currency deflates drugs maintain their value over the years.

    I’d have upvoted if it weren’t for the annoying pointless blur.

      In my country it would be 24%

      if you source the crack from a VAT paying business you get a refund on that bit. Which isn’t much.

      The question is if you’re selling it for 5000 + VAT or 5000 including VAT. B2B sellers usually list their prices the first way, B2C the second way.

        In the US you are famously required to report income from illegal sources on your taxes, which was famously Al Capone’s downfall

        the Sixteenth Amendment, which allows Congress to levy an income tax, comes into conflict with the Fifth Amendment, which includes a right against self-incrimination. The conclusion of the matter is unsurprising; it would be absurd to exempt criminals from reporting income on their tax forms while asking it of honest workers. However, Fifth Amendment privilege allows one to report illegal income without revealing its precise source.

      But to truly beat the house you need to find that one ATM which has a transaction flaw where you can withdraw your entire balance but the withdrawal does not get recorded anywhere, and for extra measure nothing about the transaction gets recorded so they don’t even know it was you who accessed that ATM.

      Fun fact: there have been a few such cases of ATM flaws in the last few decades, either time-limited to a specific period (the hour after midnight, for example) or transaction-limited to a specific type.
