    Question for Norm

    Gramazecka and I are discussing a sale and he has mentioned using you as a 3rd party guarantor to ensure safety for both parties. Is this something that you are comfortable with being involved in ?

    Sorry, but I'm not sure what this entails, who you are, whether Grosjean would approve, and how to go about sending money to a war zone.

    1. All possible conversations with Grosjean I take over. As a BJ fan, he won't mind, considering my gift for Cacarulo. I'm sure of it !

    2. It is convenient for me to get money in the final USDT TRC 20. The owner of Binance is a former poker player.

    Now there are no problems with USDT transfers at all. It is a very reliable and convenient currency. I recommend to everyone.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Grosjean's controlling interest end when he sold the book?

    Yep, legally, as there was no NDA or embargo date. But, he required approval to whom he sold it. Nothing legally binding. But, more so a factor than the SBA requirement that you not publish results of sims -- which was ridiculous. It's just a measure of respect in my mind. But, not the major factor. I'm more concerned with mechanics and the fact that I have no knowledge of one of the parties.

    Ok, I will find a way to send money to me. Just save them until both parties agree to complete the transaction. After, for example, you send them to Snyder, and he already sends them to me. It's like an example. I'm sure we'll find ways that are comfortable for you.

    Why USDT is convenient - the commission for the transfer is only 1 $. Money comes to the wallet instantly.

    UPS company uses package tracking. The sender tracks the parcel and sees when the parcel was received. This applies to sending and receiving book.

    Crypto is crashing at the moment and CoinBase is on the edge.

    Too much. Supposedly, 1,100 Coinbase employees learned they were losing their jobs when they were locked out of their work emails.

    What has to happen for me to lose? BTC should become equal to 0 ? It's impossible . After all, 1USDT is always equal to $1.

    No one has mentioned that pesky topic known as US customs duties. The UPS airwaybill needs to have a declared value for customs. That declared value should be the sale price of the book. I don’t know if there is a duty rate for books shipped to the US from Ukraine. Depends in the trade treatment between the 2 countries. Second, UPS charges customs clearance for brokerage on a sliding scale based on that customs declared value. Trust me when I say that UPS is not shy on their fees. Of course, I’m assuming that the customs declared value is in fact the sale price.

    The buyer needs to check for duties and brokerage charges in order to be fully informed.

    buyer can call US customs and ask about HS Code 49019900. Doesn’t appear that Ukraine attracts duties - up to buyer to verify. Origin for those pesky Rooskies would attract. See link.
