Baloney. Any government form I've filled out
gives that vibe, sure. And then when you're wrong, you don't get a fucking prison sentence, you get a phone call where someone explains why they think you're wrong and asks you to take a stab at it.
Also, every form from the Government I've ever filled out that is binding in terms of accuracy goes out of it's way, where you sign (which this one, to my looking, I don't even see where you sign!) to say that "you certify that this information is accurate and correct to the best of your knowledge which like, the deniability there is a mile fucking wide.
I, personally, as a citizen of both the United States and the larger world would very much like to know how much energy is being pissed away on crypto nonsense. I don't care if that's hard for you, if you can't be arsed to fill out a form, then shut down your stupid mining rigs.
Edit: For an example of this: I straight up forgot to include a large gift from a family member in my taxes one year. I never once saw a cop, was threatened, or anything else: I got two letters, one from the IRS, and one from the state, detailing that they found I had forgotten it during an audit, and I owed them.... IIRC it was a G and a half, thereabouts. If I disagreed and wanted to question their findings, I had to reply with the requisite documentation and a signed statement explaining why I felt what I did. If not, I could accept the judgement, and they included the paperwork to setup a payment plan if I couldn't afford it right away.
This "big government so scary" shit just is not reality. Every government institution I've dealt with (apart from the police, of course) approaches everyone in good faith, arguably even when they shouldn't. The ONLY way you can really get the G-men on your ass is if you're purposely going out of your way and doing fraudulent or illegal shit. Like the IRS doesn't even give a damn if you sell drugs, they just demand Uncle Sam gets his cut.
