I just wonder what experience, knowledge and recommendations people here have on taking risks in general?
There will always be a risk-return assessment of course, and different areas carry different sets of risk. Some of these are new to me personally, both when it comes to business & personal matters.
Just to fill in some background: I'm not someone suddenly waking up and NOW wanting to dodge some radars & mess with some inhumane systems, during the past decades I've pulled off things like not paying taxes for shorter periods as well as not complying with stuff like a legal registered address.
The challenge now is that I almost feel a moral obligation to avoid, spoof and resist - I will NOT quietly go into a China-styled credit-score system!
I've had one personal rule so far: never faking any documents at all, never ordering anything delivered that is illegal on a serious level - in short, not doing anything where I could really get pinned down.
The intricacies of making 100% sure that one is not traceable in any ways are endless, even for someone who has dealt with command line linux & servers since 98. But NOW is the time to up that game for sure!
As an example I've now registered with Advcash with my real identity, and of course there is a problem with my proof of address. Would you take a chance sending in some document to just get that done, or will this be checked at some point?
Is the risk of setting it up completely with darks actually LESS than messing with documents connected to your real identity?
Another example is running my company here in Thailand, to "prime" the turnover a bit I've registered cash "payments" from a "customer" who is an old friend who would back me up if its ever checked. Also I've got two "workers" where I pay their social fees only, its the way things are done and no one expects otherwise.
In other words, here no one cares at all if you pay a certain level of taxes - immigration even mentions paying taxes to a certain level without real income in some of their material!
How do you assess the risks? Any advice is welcome!
