NYT: Trump Made $413M From Tax Fraud
Commissar SFLUFAN replied to TwinIon's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
“The theme I see here through all of this is valuations: They play around with valuations in extreme ways,” said Lee-Ford Tritt, a University of Florida law professor and a leading expert in gift and estate tax law. “There are dramatic fluctuations depending on their purpose.” I couldn't agree more! When I was working closely with estate and trust taxes during my public accounting career, this was the area where we walked the line between "aggressive" and "possibly illegal". And the University of Florida's tax law program is perhaps the best in the country, right @SaysWho? and @ByWatterson? -
Assassin's Creed Odyssey's Exploration mode kills quest markers, and it's about damn time (PC Gamer) I honestly wasn't expecting much from Odyssey, thinking it would just be Origins in a new setting. But I've been surprised to discover a gorgeous, vibrant, sweeping RPG that recalls the best of The Witcher 3, with a little Mass Effect thrown in for good measure. I think it might even be the best Assassin’s Creed, but I'm saving wild statements like that until I'm more than 15 hours in. The quests are great, the world is stunning, and the freedom of the naval exploration is exhilarating. But it's Exploration mode that's really made me fall in love with this thing—and reignited my passion for open world games in general. Because it's reminded me of how joyful exploration can be when you aren't switching your brain off and following yet another flashing quest marker.

If the English translation of the demand letter is even remotely accurate, then it reads like an incredibly cliche extortion letter: Even so, as is true in every case, and particularly true in this instance, considering the specific relationship between you and Mr. Andrzej Sapkowski, the Author’s nature and character, and also your own standing and business interests, we are prepared to settle the matter in an amicable – and more importantly – expeditious and quiet manner.

That notion was very much an idea that was floated in "fringe" economic circles at the time, but has gained greater credence in subsequent years.

According to sources speaking to Eurogamer, Rocksteady is NOT the developer. The developer is Utah-based Avalanche Software (not to be confused with Sweden-based Avalanche Studios) who worked on the Disney Infinity series and was eventually acquired by Warner Brothers Interactive.

I haven't read Tooze's new book yet (probably going to ask for it as a Christmas present), but I have read his previous book The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy and found it to be perfectly understandable for someone who isn't well-versed in deep financial matters. Tooze very much writes popular histories for mass audiences.

Books What Are You Reading or Listening To?

The writing style is identical. -
We are fully aware of the fact that the Author's claim expressed herein is not a typical request, and that demanding payment of dozens of millions Polish Zlotys is not an everyday occurrence. I see that Sapkowski went with the very best that the Polish legal community has to offer.

Based on my deep understanding and significant expertise with Polish intellectual property law, I will resolutely state ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's worth a shot anyway - the worst that could happen is he gets nothing while there's the real possibility that CDPR will just quietly settle out of court to make him go away once and for all.

Sapkowski's lawyer(s) claims the original Witcher video game contract "concerned only the first in a series of games, and therefore distribution of all other games, including their expansions, add-ons etc., is, simply speaking, unlawful".
