100%, good to see you back, love the tone your sense or humor @thdxr

ESTA is tourism + business trip. Arguably a one time all-hands meeting is a business trip.

Though I agree sharing all of this in public after all of the struggle he's been through isn't the smartest idea :)!

As a French citizen, I also "agreed" to pay my taxes last year :). I even paid the full amount I was being claimed. How generous of me.

Facebook also plays the full amount it claims.

The issue is that there was an ambiguity in the law that was recently discussed and resolved.

Just curious, if you don't pay your taxes for 10 years as a citizen what happens? do you get arrested at some point?

They will get it from your bank account. That's what happened to me over a parking ticket a few years ago as I parked in a spot reserved to the national train company. I refused to pay as the amount was 4 times over what it would cost to park in a disable spot which I did find unfair from a morale standpoint. After some time, they took the money from my bank account.

In France, they can also take it from your salary.

I'm sure it depends on the country. In The Netherlands one could be sent to prison for tax evasion [0].
