If someone accidentally deposited millions of dollars into your bank account, what are the chances you would just return it? What if the person that sent it to you asked really nicely?

This is the predicament that users of the popular decentralized finance (DeFI) staking protocol Compound Labs are currently faced with. In recent days, the platform accidentally deposited arbitrary amounts of crypto into the accounts of some users. The total pay-out, which was delivered via a bug in a company update, now stands at approximately $89 million. As a result, the platform’s CEO and founder, Robert Leshner, is begging for the money back.

Leshner took to Twitter on Thursday to plead with users to return the mistakenly distributed millions, even suggesting that those who returned the funds could “keep 10%” as a reward for doing the right thing. If users don’t return the money, Leshner threatened, it would be “reported as income to the IRS, and most of you are doxxed.”

Also like, the 10% "commission" is also taxable, so by implying they won't report you to the IRS if you only keep 10% is also tax fraud. Publicly posted on Twitter by someone who says their location is "New York".

The average crypto hodler hates paying taxes. They will do anything to avoid realizing gains so they don’t have to actually pay taxes, because that hurts their personal number. Better to have a higher number on paper, than real usable currency with a lower number.

It’s about half of what my crypto brain worm infected coworkers talk about. Bitching about potential taxes, and the crazy defi schemes they are getting into to avoid paying taxes and grow their holdings more.

Make a decision, change your mind 2 weeks later, get annoyed that a) your service providers are doing the thing you asked them to, and not the new thing you just thought up and b) they are charging you the fees associated with what you asked for, and not what your fever dream brain thinks your new idea should cost.

Then call them up with their manager on the line to berate them for an hour about this.

Repeat for every single vendor and report, every month. Half of her team quit and one of the remainders attempted suicide. Even the water cooler guys fired us.

Losing $0.3M in warrants was really just the tip of the iceberg there.

85k lost, how do I maximize deductions?

OP posted:

Over the past 3 years of my horrible “investing” more like gambling trades on the stock market, i’ve amounted 85k in lost. Besides writing off 3k per year and stop trading, are there any other things i can do to hep myself like claiming single 9 on my taxes? Im not in debt and have a healthy retirement fund / emergency fund. The money i lost was all i saved over the last 4-5 years.

I mean I’m not saying they’re innocent in this. But like, I would not suggest to a friend they get involved with Options in the same way I wouldn’t suggest a friend start heroin. Like people should make their own decisions but you don’t have to endorse risky behavior without communicating the downsides.
