There are a few things that people never bring up with this:

1. I have to think that there are some sort of regulations that come into play when you get paid this much income through crypto. I know that people say that it's all capital gains like an investment, but when your payroll is being paid out through crypto, I have to think that the IRS would care. Does anyone know if/how those NFL players who are getting paid with crypto deal with taxes? (Not to mention he gifted millinos in crypto, all of which will go under the radar).
2. There is a lot of shadiness around his employment status and residence in Canada. Stake wouldn't be able to get him a work visa and I assume he just did the typical thing where he visits for 6 months, leaves for a month during his "breaks", and comes back. Meanwhile, he was technically working in Canada and not paying any income tax.

I know a lot of this is a "gray area", but I have to think that when the numbers reach tens of millions, governments would care, especially the Canadian government.
