<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2170026, member: 28107&quot;]No, but an attorney would also advise against making risky decisions like trying to get around the HPA and Title 18 statutes with circular arguments or constrained readings of a statute.&nbsp; Assuming, <i>arguendo</i>, that you are correct in what you say, you must admit that their &quot;legality&quot; is far from clear.&nbsp; I cannot envision someone admitted to the bar, albeit someone who could be sued for malpractice, telling you to go ahead and strike your pieces.&nbsp; Any profits you make would far be outweighed by the legal risks and attorney&#039;s fees you would be force to expend to defend yourself if someone were to ever pursue you.&nbsp; Even if you win, you cannot say that the other side was acting maliciously and without reason, and under the American Rule, it is very unlikely that you would be reimbursed for your attorney&#039;s fees.&nbsp; So would a lawyer advise you to do this and make maybe a $100,000 in profits only to expend much more in attorney&#039;s fees and potentially risk civil forfeiture of assets purchased from profits received (if it is pursued forfeiture is a possibility)?&nbsp; For this reason, I question all of those claiming that you have retained competent counsel.&nbsp; Many of the arguments you make like &quot;but everyone else is doing it&quot; also wouldn&#039;t be something I would expect an attorney to say.&nbsp; I would expect him or her to know better.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, this is all opinion, but I think it is well grounded in reason and logic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
