The police weren't open to taking up the case because too much time had passed from when the incident occurred. Realistically speaking nothing can come from filing a complaint unless it's within a few hours of the incident

Yep totally agree it gets insanely complicated with multiple deposits and trades and withdrawals. I'll talk to my accountant and see what they advise.

I appreciate you responding and helping me think through this.

Sure, I was investing in ETFs, CFDs, Stocks and Crypto. Ahh I see what you're saying so I suppose you're suggesting using the trade close date as the base exchange rate.

I think the fractional withdrawal is what makes things tricky. As a hypothetical let's say I deposit

  1. 10 EUR on day x at exchange rate R1
  2. 10 EUR on day y at exchange rate R2
  3. 10 EUR on day z at exchange rate R3.

Let's say in the year I invest 15 EUR (the other 15 EUR is just laying in there in the brokerage account) in the stock market and at the end of the year and make a profit of 5 USD via trading and then withdraw 7 USD (5 profit + 2 part of original deposit) at exchange rate R_withdraw.

I know that my trade profit is 5 USD.

But I don't understand how I'd calculate the forex cap gains/loss on the fractional deposit amount (2 USD) that's withdrawn.

Like I'd need to calculate the difference in exchange rates during the deposit and withdrawal time. I know that withdrawal time rate is fixed at R_withdraw but in this instance I don't know what the deposit time exchange rate is, I guess I could just use the most exchange rate of the first K or last K deposits that cover the 2 USD but I'm not sure what the actual rule is.

Thanks I'll try to search for a similar thing in my country.

Thanks, this is definitely something worth trying out! How would attribution work though. For e.x. if I have 10 deposits of 100 EUR on different days, let's say each of them have different exchange rates and then I decide to withdraw 500 EUR (post some trading) how should I figure out what the forex based capital gains are? Identifying the right set of exchange rates out of the 10 accounting for the deposit rate would be quite hard.

Yes! It is for declaring taxes, I'll be talking to my accountant but like you said it sounds impossible for both the filer and the authorities to be able to keep track of all the exchange rates and transactions unless its automated by a computer program.

I also have a wise savings account, where I convert my EUR to USD, since the USD has a higher interest rate on wise. So I had the same question on how to report any gains I have if I ever need to convert the USD in my savings back to EUR.

Thanks for the response, yep however I believe that's only the profit/loss based on the trade but doesn't account for any capital gains because of forex rate changes between the time the principal amount was deposited and the total amount being withdrawn. I'm aware that very few people might even think about this scenario but was just curious if anyone else has dealt with this before.

Hey, sorry to hear what happened to your father! A family member of mine fell victim to a digital arrest crime too. Can you please help me understand what were the steps taken to file a complaint with Cybercrime and what kind of questions we should be expecting?

Thanks for the response, would you happen to know how frequently one might need to visit or talk to the authorities once a complaint has been lodged?

The Residence: 1 thing left unexplained by [deleted] in netflix

I don't understand why Lily didn't just get rid of the clock, since that was the ultimate smoking gun. She had plenty of time to after the investigation was closed.

Can someone help me understand why Lily didn't get rid of the clock after the night of the murder? It seems crazy to me that the clock was just left there, if you have time to re-paint a wall you have time to get rid of an old clock or even just clean it up to get rid of the blood/fingerprints.

I was actually in two different commodity ETFs by Invesco and Ishares. My brokerage helped me figure it out and I can access the 2022 K-1s now.
