I think that's the point, nobody is blaming the individual dev but the org and leadership.
Other than seizing assets in the US, as someone else mentioned, there are methods for international collections.
It's a very different case, but if you go read the website of the CJIB, the Dutch Central Fine Collection Agency, they say that if you are a foreigner who gets a speeding ticket in the Netherlands, and you don't pay expecting to avoid being charged as you don't have any financial presence there, they will just go to Belgium as they own SWIFT, and quite literally just debit your bank account in your country directly without needing the consent of any other party, including you, your bank or your country.
Similarly, remember the Kim Dotcom case, where the guy expected to avoid the RIAA by doing his piracy in a country where it was technically legal, and the FBI still raided his home in a way that was technically massively illegal?
When there is a will, there is a way. On the other hand, the US does not like to bother corps though.
Fair enough, I just wanted to say that I meant no insult to the good people of Haarlem.
That's the thing, it's Congress being a limp dick that forces the Fed to fight inflation with rate raises that inevitable ends hurting workers.
If the inflation induced by the monopolization of key industries and pure greed would have been addressed by legislative action restoring the free market and clawing back windfall profits through smart taxation, people would be better off and would not be looking to elect a fascist.
The "Fed only has this one tool" situation is a false dilemma. Inflation is not the root problem, the oligarchy is.
At this point I really canβt understand what is driving Orban anymore.
If he stops stealing, his empire collapses, and he (or his family who are also involved) might even see some form of consequences. The EU does not let him steal any more, hence the openness to the East.
Sorry, I think it might have been something lost in translation, I was trying to say "settlement located close by and heavily influenced by another much bigger settlement". I don't know a better word for it.
Don't get me wrong, I actually don't mind Russians being able to make a better life for themselves, I'm happy for them if they can leave and move and be happy.
It's just that Russian spies have been moving openly in Budapest, several years ago there was this one guy who defaced a Soviet monument - that IMO has no place standing outside a museum, much less Freedom Square in Budapest. A random Chechen without ID or documentation or a reason for being in the country or Schengen appeared and coerced the guy to apologize publicly.
It's a disgrace that an undocumented Russian citizen can appear in an EU country, brazenly commit a crime of coercion against an EU citizen while livestreaming it on Youtube, and the authorities of said country just stand by doing nothing and covering for him.
All I'm saying is that I have no illusions of the intentions of Hungary's government in removing all visa restrictions, specifically and only for Russian and Belarusian citizens.
