I'd imagine his immigration file has a big "dickhead" stamped on the cover, so whoever gets it gets to figure out new ways to gently caress with him. he can prove all the ties he wants to japan, he doesn't have japanese citizenship, and they could turn him away just as easily as the US. The next time he goes there, he has to admit to being denied entry to a country, they could look further into it and find the same concerns.

Let me remind you that they bought into bitcoin. They gave somebody money, and got bitcoins in return. I can't imagine how the ETF would ever go ahead. you can double or halve the market with $10,000,000. so you sell the etf based on $250 a coin for 25 million, use 10 mil to crash it to nothing, buy back into the etf for peanuts, buy the market back up to $500. you would only have to maniuplate 1 exchange, and people trying arbitrage will do the rest of the work for you. you could sell back out before they dump their coins on exchange you drove up, get them absorb all the risk.
