Yeah, but if they can't find it then it's not a problem is it? Tulipcoins are perfect for that."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment

"Cryptocurrencies could lead to ‘limitless’ losses for UK government
Experts warn of danger of untraceable funds if companies accepting payments in cryptos go bust
The government could face “limitless” losses as a result of businesses that accept payments in untaxed and untraceable cryptocurrencies going bust, an insolvency expert has warned.
A growing number of companies, including the ethical cosmetics firm Lush and office-sharing firm WeWork, have begun taking payments for goods and services in cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, alongside debt, credit or cash.
But while the shift has been welcomed by crypto-Mor Ons, experts say it could be an easy way for directors to hide cash from authorities, particularly when companies go bust.
Julie Palmer, a managing director at insolvency firm Begbies Traynor, said the growing popularity of cryptocurrency payments would make it harder for administrators – who are in charge of winding down a business after it fails – to track where money has come from, and whether owners, staff or directors are stripping funds out of the business illegally.
It means criminals could walk away with income that would usually be clawed back and distributed to creditors, including the tax collectors at HM Revenue and Customs and local authorities.
Palmer said that without new regulations and taxation plans, the government could face huge losses. “The potential is limitless, depending on how popular this becomes,” she warned."

If people could open any number of bank accounts in a second, no checks who does it, no limits on transfers doing them 24/7, working for all countries, zero taxes, that would be pretty tidy for criminals of all sorts - and that's not even as bad as this tulip is doing right now.Comment

Some spammer thinks I'm going to send them some tulipcoin to this address: 1nJCE7GPLEgKVtoDB2vNKxivw3U6ogMeS
Is there really no way of tracking down the owner of that account? Or reporting it in some way?
Well there's this, but that doesn't point me to the person behind the account (such a shame people have sent them money)
