Re: bog butter, if you still doubt it's a real thing, here's an article about a huge chunk of it they found a few years ago that's estimated to be 2000 years old. https://www.archaeology.org/news/4526-160609-ireland-bog-butter

When you think about it, those buried chests we constantly find of Roman coins that were buried by Josephus McToga and then were lost when he died without telling anyone he had a stash, are just like all the hard drives with bitcoins on them! Archaeologists of the future will be hard at work looking for lost bitcoin hard drives. Just think their historical worth will mean the stored bitcoin will only have gone up in value!

Isn't the blockchain a record of every transaction that has taken place? If so those late capitalism era bitcoins will be an invaluable, enduring record for future archeologists to look back at randoms buying drugs on the internet and losing vast sums in super obvious scams.

One of the top stories on CBC right now. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/crypto-king-associate-hands-over-million-in-bank-drafts-1.6736290 One of the "crypto king"'s associates wiped his phone before handing it over to a fraud lawyer who got a civil search warrant against him, and had $1m in bank drafts to the head dude in the ponzi who declared bankrputcy without mentioning them. Courts love when you gently caress around like this, right?

Powershift posted:One of the top stories on CBC right now. One thing I always think about is how many of these scammy type dudes are out there if occasionally one hits it big. They're incredibly dumb usually but completely without ethics and occasionally luck into some method to pull in tons of cash like this guy. Just think of how many dummies are trying similar angles but haven't managed to cash in big.

Thing is - if he has wiped the iPhone and they can't be sure of anything that was previously on there, how do you measure the punishment besides simply contempt of court?

Willing to bet that they are gonna find connections to the phone in other evidence that will make it worse for him, its rarely the only way to find out what was on the phone.

Tampering with evidence is a felony that can get you up to 20 years in jail by itself. They have to prove you did it knowingly and with intent, but if they can cross those thresholds you can be really hosed.

If you destroy something it's evidence that the claims that you did something wrong are accurate. I don't know if that's how it works in Canada, but the legal traditions are close enough that it seems likely.

I don't know if that's how it works in Canada, but the legal traditions are close enough that it seems likely. This only applies in civil cases. In criminal cases, it is always the state's burden of proof to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Hence why it's necessary to make evidence tampering a separate crime.

Provably destroying evidence under certain conditions is itself usually enough to convict, whether the original charge goes through or not. It's basically a gamble, because if you destroy evidence and they can't prove you did it with the right elements the gambit succeeds. If the gambit doesn't succeed you get 20 years. Rarely is a defendant able to identify what evidence is sufficient to carry a conviction, so if they destroy evidence and get convicted they'll get no leniency and additional jail time which usually adds up to "the rest of your life". It's just such a stupid gamble. Basically, only the dumbest and most narcissistic people try to destroy evidence so it's right at home in crypto. jokes fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Feb 7, 2023 |

If the gambit doesn't succeed you get 20 years. to be clear, you can use the evidence destruction as circumstantial evidence - that you were busy melting an unidentified body in an acid vat is pretty good evidence in a murder trial even if you can't prove whose body - but there isn't an "adverse inference instruction" (assume the destroyed evidence was unfavorable to the person who destroyed it).
