When Edith Windsor approached Roberta Kaplan to take her case after she had been forced to pay $363,053 in estate taxes only because she had been married to a woman, instead of a man, she offered to pay for the defense, and Roberta immediately agreed to take the case and immediately said, no we will take it pro bono - you don't understand - and the defense in United States v. Windsor ended up costing $3 million, but helped millions of homosexuals who had been affected by DOMA. Legal cases are expensive but important to fight. -- Christopher Booth

"...261.91743313 in bitcoin donations which is worth almost $170,000 today" "Yes, this is correct. Back then i sold them (entirely) for around 5000EUR via Virwox and BTC24." "For clarification: My lawyer costs 250EUR / hour, this 10000EUR total (Paypal+BTC) funded (with tax i paid ignored, else around 30) 40 hours of my lawyer which obviously in such a case is not enough by far. I myself invested more than this in the case." http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/644383/#Comment_644383 - -- With respect, Roman -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlO0zvIACgkQTLKSvz+PZwhSqwCbB3oT+50Bumm/+XC1g41PrYh/ e48An0Yor/YePh+nBb95fjECUoCJVmi8 =sJ+g -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
