This wasn't at you direcctly. I had another in mind. I thought you had some sense in your articles at least.

The gift is made by my stake weighted vote. Giving you a vote is less work than writing you a check or giving you cash. Technically if I write you a check it's the bank that's giving you the gift not me. So, I'm not sure I agree with you there. It's my stake doing the work. So, it's my gift. Not sure you have to declare gifts either. So, I'm not planning on declaring gifts given to me unless that's absolutely necessary. To avoid threat of violence on me and my person.

As for courts they are kangaroo courts. They are administrating maritime law in an illegal fashion. I'd start by questioning their authority and jurisdiction before even talking to them about what constitutes a gift.
