    Try giving that loophole explanation to any reasonable and professional judge and see how far that gets you.

    Flip the sides and I would be surprised if a Trump appointed judge didnt accept some kind of bullshit loophole like this.

    I love CAH as much as the next degen but this feels iffy at best. But also they presumable ran this passed at least one lawyer who said ‘fuck it lets ball’ so maybe there is a leg to stand on here.

      I really do not think its worth gambling with federal charges over (up to*)$100, but if you’re willing to risk it by all means, submit to their public shaming for a pittance, or implicate yourself by contributing. I just want people to know what they’re getting into.

        My guy, I’m agreeing with your point. This probably wouldn’t hold up as legal in court, but also IANAL.

          apologies, I misread. i’m maybe a little more annoyed about this than I realized.
