If Apple cares about protecting privacy they'd use an open, interoperable, cross-platform standard instead of just making cracks like, "just buy your Mom an iPhone."

I assume what's worse with the 300M scenario is that he still owes the other parties the 1.5B. Since the collateral is now gone, those parties will immediately demand full payment. So he'll be forced to sell other properties to pay those debts, and it's a cascade of a whole other set dominos of fire sales.

I could be wrong, but "capital gains" to me means only on the increase in value. So if they bought the house for $200k, they would be paying tax only on the $300k.

It's a huge opening to get sued. So you could lose millions, but it'll never make you a cent. So most are advised to just confirm very basic information like how long the employee worked there.
