Just got a hold of bitcoin worth 8 figures USD

well, i mean it would be considered some "long-term" capital gains i suppose.

I was only half-joking. Having a bunch of people cash out smaller amounts and pay you in cash would likely go completely unnoticed, and you could probably get closer to about 75% back. The thing with cashing out a large amount yourself at all is that it would trigger an investigation regarding why you got the BTC in the first place, under suspicion of drug trafficking and whatnot.

So you stole it? And there's a record that you had access to the original owner's computer? Taxes are the least of your worries. You're not going to want to cash it out yourself. Also, I'm out, I no longer have deniability.

if you try to cash out and police report is filed from computer repair stealing bitcoin youre going to prison

but i would add, that it's likely you can get fucked if you take it.

Yes.
We're a team of about 10 people and there are no records to show who worked on which computer.

Just pay the fucking tax and go live like a 0.1%er

Well then you're all going down to the shitter and the FBI. Nine of them know they are innocent and one knows they are guilty. It won't take very long before they start ruling people out.

>monitor 10 people's bank accounts, see which one goes up by 8 figures

Yet something tells me that the guy who just bought that vacation house in Malibu might be the prime suspect.

A lot of posts saying I will get caught.

What would you do in my situation?
