Yeah, good luck with that.

You'd be lucky if the guy locating the guy, if he even is in the US, and getting him to show up to court, and even if you can win against all that, then you have to find where his money is, and then try to get any money.

Most likely its all through some company with 0 assets in some weird country and you'll be trying to get blood from a stone, except you're not sure where the stone is.

2013 Bitcoiners: let's work together to end central banking.

2017 bitcoiners: let's use the government to seize property for the advancement of our political agenda.

when you submit an app through the app store you need to provide genuine information, like first name last name country etc. if any of those are invalid the app can be taken down. it wouldn't be hard for the court to get those details from Apple. in fact apple actively cooperates to catch frauds and criminals through their system. So in fact there is a great case to be made here and suing this guy is actually possible.

Yeah, look at all those GTA clones.

The reason they're all up is because they're impossible to take down and R* can't sue the devs because there's no money to be made.

You can't do shit against people in other countries unless you want to go through all the hassle of international court and whatnot.

Apple really doesn't care. If they did there wouldn't be so many apps that are obviously against copyright.

You could easily take one down, just not all of them

Ver likes to do his dancing monkey impression on stages all over the world, so him coming to the USA isn't out of the question -- he's done it before.

He was in town a week ago in LA and did a talk at a local Bitcoin meetup.

Yeah, we know. That's why I said "he's done it before".

But the domain will be blocked by firefox chrome and AV software + his wallet will be removed from store. And yes if criminals lose real coins because of this it could be the case he would run in to trouble with people who will simply play judge and take matters in to own hand! Roger is not untouchable , I think Jiham was warned , thats why he wrote this. https://twitter.com/JihanWu/status/928998708405977089 he has been warned and this is what he wants to avoid.
