I’m gotta kick off this bowl with a story that my client shared with me today during the interview. This young man started playing with Bitcoin 10 years ago. In 2013 he accidentally sent 50 BTC to an wrong address!! So the 50 BTC is in limbo and no owners.

Here is the question (maybe for crypto tax attorneys): if he attempt to recover this asset this year and then he failed to do so, then he decided to officially give up, should the loss be falling into abandoned assets but not casualty?

Would he have to claim that in the year it was lost? Or does it get claimed in the year he tries to recover it? Major tax planning strategy if you just wait to recover it!

P.S. no step up basis can be supported so far so I think probably not much loss can be deducted in this case. But we’ll see!

Hi Fishes,

l interviewed for Deloitte (India not USI) in January, and accepted an offer letter with DOJ of 25th April, later HR asked me to join on 11th April for which I agreed. Now I haven't received the revised offer letter or any links other than BGV and Pre-Hire form from Deloitte and now the HR is not even picking my calls or responding to emails.

Any advice on what to do?

Question with regards to treatment of Crypto loss: client purchased large amount of alt coins during 2021 and was intended to sell them shortly after the purchase. However his access to sell was restricted and he was not able to sell after continued attempts until 8 days later, the sell transactions went through- during this time the values dropped dramatically and he sustained $100K loss. Practically we’ll report this as ST capital loss, but I’m curious whether it could be viewed as damage?
