I freely admitted to the under-declaration in my initial message. Don't act like you've uncovered something. You suggested there was something I was hiding, and you were wrong. That's why I said your B.S. meter needs re-calibrating.
Further, there was no export tax applicable to this transaction. The only tax in play was an import duty in Thailand. Felony--my ass.
I do not support the Patriot Act, and I wish I had a choice other than McCain and Obama.
I know I made a mistake, but the point of my original message was that I did it to help out the buyer, and he turned on me. I got nothing out of the under-declaration but exposure. The buyer was the beneficiary, and he accused me of stealing from him when the package was lost. Perhaps I was naive to think that my favor would be considered if things didn't go as planned. I won't do it again.
By the way, there is no way to say STFU with all, or any, due respect. I'm clearly not concerned about ending up in Gitmo, else I wouldn't have posted in the first place.
