Seems like Avocado isn't the only one that has issues with him. I just saw this on X.






Interesting to see this kind of thing. Also it is scary how connected social media is. Are we sure it is even the same person? Maybe a different screen name? He posted some great posts on a thread about my dog. At least he is a fellow dog lover. His compassion with his dog shined through on some posts.

Some of his posts on this website made me think there are some issues. My husband read some of his posts about how he was declaring so little and he just said "oh boy". Almost as if this is the outcome he wanted. Repeatedly harassing several members of this forum.
Boy you are right about that
My husband works in financial department for a large company. He read the train wreck of all of this playing out. I wouldn't wish IRS issues on my worst enemy.
 
Boy you are right about that
As someone who has gotten audited by the IRS (3 times) and survived I will say that they do NOT mess around. I always tell people the USA is the BEST country in the world by a long shot. I'm very proud to be American. I feel fortunate that my parents immigrated to the USA and I was born in the USA. I'm very proud to be American. 2 out of my 3 kids although they were born in Argentina and have Argentine passports. they are very proud and thankful to be American. I always say LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT.

If you leave it that is your choice. Say what you want about the USA, it's the best country on Earth. No country even comes close. Personally I hate paying taxes but the sad reality is that taxes are a necessity. I own properties in several countries and I pay a lot of taxes in each country that I have permanent residency in.

One thing is clear @earlyretirement if there really is a story in the Argentina media about an American that gets deported from Argentina because he openly bragged on your website about cheating on how low he declared on his house purchase and then bragged about how he cheats on his American taxes, something tells me ExpatsBA is about ready to become famous!
Never even occurred to me but I guess you are right. I have already given @Avocado my 2 cents that I don't think this is a desirable outcome for anyone, least of which @StatusNomadicus who by all accounts is a nice guy. I spoke to him on the phone and a really intelligent and nice guy. I don't know him from Adam but in all my interactions, a nice guy. I still don't think he understands Argentina too well. I have watched people that have lived here for decades give him advice which he brushes off. That is his prerogative but I think any bad outcome that may come his way, he is partially to blame.

I would still say that it's best to just get this situation resolved. It may be past the point of no return but according to @Avocado no apology was offered which seems crazy to me. To each his own.
 
I hope this gets resolved. I love this forum. I mostly lurk probably like most and don't post much. This situation is an eye opener on the dangers of posting too much information online. I am not sure why you would want to post you are cheating on taxes.
 
I would hate to see anyone get deported from any country that they were living in legally. It seems like he made an effort to get legal here. I am not sure why he would openly admit to breaking the law buying his property. I read a post where people warned him what he was doing was not normal declaring so low and he kept arguing he was right. Probably not the brightest if he is posting how he is evading taxes in the USA either. Still think he doesn't deserve to be deported and even worse if the media got ahold of the story. It would not end well for him in the USA. If there is one thing the IRS doesn't stand for is people that evade taxes and then brag about it online.
It is crazy that a post like this even would need to be made. I posted on the old forum for 12 years under a different user name. I found out about that site from Mike who always told me he posted there. I have been a client of his since 2005. Anyone that knows Mike or worked with him will tell you he is the most patient guy you could ever meet. I don't know anyone that loves Argentina more than him.

The fact that he created this forum was from reaching a certain threshold of patience. Since he left the old forum it is totally dead. Many of the old members have probably died, moved out of Argentina or just don't post anymore since it is so dead. I am mostly a lurker on this site. I probably should participate more and plan to once I retire and move down to Buenos Aires in the next 4 years.

The IRS is not to be messed with. Forget about worrying about AFIP or Argentina. I would think that is the least of this guy's worries. Everyone in Argentina is probably in the black a little. But it's not a stretch for the IRS to figure out who this guy is. I doubt there are too many Americans that purchased properties in Mendoza. My friend had a property for sale and it took her 5 years to sell it. Seriously doubt there are many transactions there.

Avocado I agree with the others just let this slide. Has @StatusNomadicus apologized? I would give him the opportunity to just send you a message and apologize and move on. I am not sure if you presented him with that option but it would be good for everyone involved. I can't imagine a scenario where an American gets deported from Argentina and the press picking up on it and not creating serious problems not only for this person but their entire family.

I read where @StatusNomadicus served in the military and you should seriously consider dropping this before it gets out of control. @StatusNomadicus just apologize and put this to bed.

It is the same person! I saw many posts that he made and also he posted references to ExpatsBA and his own posts. I am sure it is the same person and great to see people complaining about him on X too.

But how someone so smart do something so stupid??

He pushed me and pushed me to my limit.

Is true he was in military? He put he was only a police man. Maybe corrupt? Imagine if he acts like this how he act when he in official police? I told him before just apologize and do not do it again and he continue on. I will give one chance and if he apologize I will tell my cousin to stop it. If he serve in military for his country that mean something to me. But I need promise from him he stop harassing people.
 
Seems like Avocado isn't the only one that has issues with him. I just saw this on X.






Long time follower of this forum since it first started and I formally posted on the old forum but long since stopped. I had posts deleted/edited over the years. @StatusNomadicus lost me a while back when he tried to say there was no inflation in Argentina over the past 18 months. That is just nonsense. All of my bills have gone up both in pesos and dollars. Healthcare, monthly administrative bills, utilities. My friends that have kids in school complain each month.

Sure inflation is slowing down but laughable for someone to argue wasn't inflation. Hell even the "official inflation" which is probably fake is 3% a month. or 35% a year.

I read repeated posts where you got bullied over and over. I respected you for just ignoring him. Personally don't think you should get involved with being part of him getting deported even though he probably deserves it. I like many of his posts and they are helpful. Part of me thought he was just a troll and did not live in Argentina but that doesn't seem like it's the case.

The guy has only been in Argentina a year and he thinks he is some expert on Argentina. Have no idea why you would want to admit online you are a tax dodger in the USA. Seems like he was proud of that fact. Oh well hopefully this dispute gets settled but I have to admit this is funny to watch. I remember a few posts where he was convinced that crypto transactions were going to be common for real estate transactions.

I have seen plenty of these know it all types in Argentina over the past decade here. They come to Argentina and all of a sudden think they know it all. Funny seeing him block anyone on X that disagrees with him. Even people he didn't interact with. Says it all about him.
 
I've been extremely busy the past week working and traveling in Argentina and Brazil. Fortunately 99% of this forum is polite people that willingly share information. I created this forum because the old forum had too much moderating and the owner, Igor was deleting posts that he disagreed with. I don't want to have to do that.

I am disappointed to see some threads where members are arguing with one another about senseless things. I am getting a lot of complaints about certain forum members that create problems and constantly call names to others. This was not what this forum was intended for. I also saw an incident of someone exposing another person's name. That is also not allowed in this forum.

I would recommend members on this forum limit information about themselves and any activities they may be doing in Argentina illegally. I am moving to a system where I won't delete any posts at all even if requested as it would change the continuity of the responses. So there will be no way to delete your old posts. I suggest if you aren't comfortable with this, you leave this forum and stop posting.

We routinely get about 50 people a day that try to join the forum and 99% show up on some spam filter so we don't allow them. There are a lot of people trying to cause chaos and problems on this forum which we try to prevent. This is a forum that I spend money on each month all to share information.

If you can't follow the Golden Rule of treating someone how you want to be treated, then please exit the forum. This is basic common sense. Posting on this forum isn't a right. It's a privilege so you better start acting like it.

I want to thank all of you in advance for taking the time to share and consume knowledge about Buenos Aires. ALL members are welcome and you do NOT have to be an expat. In fact, I encourage locals to participate. I don't consider myself an Expat. I consider myself a local.

Thanks.
Long time poster on the old forum. Thanks for creating this site. Mostly in lurker mode but glad to see you keeping this site to high standards. Don't let this forum go to sh*t like the old forum.

Sounds like he did leave it. ˆIf someone gets deported, does the country ship them back to their original country they are from? How does that work?

Can you chose to get deported to another country? Or will he be forced back to the USA?
Finally got out of lurker mode. Great website. Nice community here. Love the layout of this website. Agree about not letting this forum go down like the other. I actually like that there is no moderating here unless things get crazy. Been interesting to watch this play out.

If you get deported you will typically get deported to where your passport or travel documents are from. I don't know if he has permanent residency status in another country but if so or another passport you can probably negotiate to get deported there instead. Probably a good idea for him to start talking to an immigration now to prepare for it.

This is hilarious because I remember he posted something about the old forum being an echo chamber. I posted on the old forum a long time. Igor was deleted posts that didn't follow his way of thinking.

@StatusNomadicus came here and judging from these posts on X blocks anyone that doesn't think like him. Even people that didn't engage with him. He comes on this forum and tells locals not to post and calls them communists. Thinks he knows everything.

Funny if you think about he will get deported from Argentina and possibly have issues with the IRS. Fitting end.

Disagree about it being funny to have problems with the IRS. That isn't an agency you want to have issues with. It sounds like he fled the USA so at least he left the the country but don't think people should wish any problems. Yes some of his posts went overboard but nothing worth getting deported over or having problems with the IRS.
 
ALL members are welcome and you do NOT have to be an expat. In fact, I encourage locals to participate. I don't consider myself an Expat. I consider myself a local.
sure; no way to enforce Expats-only...but i can't be the only one noticing that there are ~3 local Peronists who spend a lot of time here, 95% of which is spamming "Milei evil" on every thread. some people may identify as locals now, but obviously we all start as Expats, and it's a very unique life than 99% of humans choose not to live, so it would be nice if the Peronists would spam a forum tailored for locals, rather than post so much here on an ExpatsBA forum. i know most people don't like conflict and avoid it at any cost, but after the 100th time of one of these clowns posting literally the same sentence, someone ought to call them out!

Igor was deleting posts that he disagreed with. I don't want to have to do that.
we all appreciate you, and many of us are refugees from the old censored forum, where certain liberty-minded topics were censored. i haven't been reading/posting here as much since i've been busy this Fall, but i enjoy reading this forum, especially the oldtimers who are helpful with tramites and other topics! if there was a way to support the forum, i'd pay monthly in crypto or pesos or dollars (i know you don't intend to monetize it that way, but if it ever becomes an option, i'm sure i'm not the only one who would help out with the domain and hosting stuff!)

I am getting a lot of complaints about certain forum members that create problems and constantly call names to others.
i don't want to catch-up on tons of posts/threads about this, and i'm not the offended type when people mention my name, so if one of these "certain forum members" is me, please let me know which rule i broke, or if not, can we have an example of who is creating problems, and specifically how? clarity would be good if there are people who might be banned

I also saw an incident of someone exposing another person's name. That is also not allowed in this forum.
also missed this; which user did that, and to who? doxxing not only isn't allowed in any forum, it's a crime in most countries (harassment and incitement to political violence, with the intent to destroy a person personally and financially). i find that 99% of doxxing is done by Leftist extremists, so i wonder if the ~3 Peronists harbor this doxxer...

I would recommend members on this forum limit information about themselves and any activities they may be doing in Argentina illegally.
like i said in another forum, it's funny to me when the word "illegal" is brought up, because literally every Argentine is committing fraud on a daily basis 😛 it's the national sport. my plumber receives cash and doesn't pay taxes on it. my notary receives USD cash and doesn't declare all of it. the police don't have bodycams and take cash bribes to not write tickets. the majority of Argentines with dogs don't pick-up their poop and thus litter...the list is endless, so i think there's a difference between advocating for crimes with victims (malum en se) versus just pointing-out circumstances where literally everyone in the country other than earlyretirement is breaking the law (the law is stupid). border runs and overstaying are illegal, yet there are still being recommended here on this forum by a few people in 2025; the standard needs to be consistent, if enforcing laws here is the goal 🙂

It's a privilege so you better start acting like it.
i think it would help if your Moderator (i think you still have a Mod here, yeah?) would identify any rules being broken, so the Golden Rule is clear. for example, when a Peronist posts about wanting 'rich expats' to be kicked-out of Argentina, i think it's moronic and they should be laughed-at until they shut-up, but i don't think a rule is broken there, nor should it be ban-able. when they constantly post the same things about Milei being a Nazi/evil, i think that could be seen as a history of making the forum worse, and could result in a warning (stay on-topic, etc.)

and also when Leftists here post fake news from Peronist sites, and someone on the other side of the political spectrum calls them a moron, i also don't think that's a ban-worthy thing...if you post here and make a claim, just like on any part of the internet, your ideas will be challenged. don't like conflict? don't spend hours posting the same Socialist nonsense on an ExpatsBA forum /shrug

Agree about having to be careful to share too much information
for sure, it's a hard choice, because 99.9% of people don't follow-up about these types of things. and sometimes literally no one online has provided any info. that's why i try to post screenshots and redacted info, because hopefully i'm careful enough not to hurt anyone i know, and also i'd like to pay-back the community that has helped me immensely. but i totally understand the desire to just lurk and not put any info out there. i think @BowTiedMara is smart for wearing a mask; Leftist extremists are violent and will try to destroy people they disagree with.

Much like a real family, a lot of problematic and difficult members of the family.
i don't see a lot. in fact, it's probably 3 main Peronists who make the forum worse, as i've mentioned before. @Che Vos was horrible back in the day but i haven't seen much recently. @Avocado is quite uneducated and you can tell they have no clue how the real world works. and @Larry is the loudest of the communists, constantly screaming about how Milei is evil and everyone is going to die of starvation. who else do you find problematic? and do you think arguing about politics is problematic? often i find it distracting when i'm posting content about an Immigration task, and the Peronists come to brigade and disrupt the conversation. but i really don't see more than a handful here, out of the dozens of active users with usernames.

people act like children.
we disagree with some things, but what type of post do you find to be acting like children? doxxing i would say is much more than being naive/immature.

All @Avocado asked for was an apology and the jerk couldn't even do that!
where is this? i have wondered for a while if you're just a sockpuppet account of Avocado. similar writing and low-IQ posts

Maybe he wants to try to destroy this site as his site is so terrible?
if you read the old censored forum, there are a handful of Peronists there (i would put a lot of money that the Peronists here are related or the same people) who got so mad at earlyretirement being pro-liberty/Milei, and creating this forum where all sides aren't censored, that they were planning to try to bring the site down. sad, but typical commies if you look at the Woke side in the USA and elsewhere (cancel culture, words are literally violence, etc.)

Most of the problems seem to be from one person. Why not just ban them?
who? what problems, specifically? (a heated argument isn't a "problem" by the way). if they didn't break a forum rule, would you still ban them? because if so, you should go on the old forum, where that pro-censorship mentality is shared by the douchers over there

someone to constantly name call someone and pester them for over a year. That kind of behavior is a bully. And honestly if I see it on this forum I'll just ban them.
who is doing this?

I hope I don't have to ban anyone from this website but will if repeating bullying continues.
did i miss something big since i've been not as active? i legit haven't seen bullying, but i suppose it depends on how one defines bullying. responding to a personal attack isn't bullying, nor is challenging a claim made. for instance, when i post evidence that prices are stable or going down, and the ~3 Peronists here call me an idiot and tell everyone to laugh at me, and make stupid claims like i don't speak Spanish, am not in Argentina, and have no idea what i'm talking about, is that bullying? (i don't think it is, but obviously i get attacked all the time when i post prices and experiences. but only by the Peronists)

that guy has some serious mental issues.
who?

Seems like Avocado isn't the only one that has issues with him
ah, i forgot about you...i also have been wondering for some time if you're one of the Avocado crew, a puppet account, or one of the brigading BAExpats peronists

and lol @ spending so much time thinking about me, and my twitter account 😉 you sure spend a lot of time worrying about me! the 2suns2moons Morel guy ... who cares? lots of people disagree with me on the internet...so you found 2 people on twitter that i blocked? out of how many people? i block a LOT of spammers and warmongers. all 2suns2moons Morel does is post crypto tokens saying "Number Go Up" - i have no idea why i blocked him, but glancing at his profile it was a good move. i don't want to see tokens like "Hyperliquid" and "SOL" spammed...

and anyone can look at the DavidSLiberdad twitter profile and see he just spams pro-war pro-Netanyahu zionist stupidity, and anti-Milei non-sequiturs. i block a lot of people on twittter; there are millions of people in the world that i find to be morons. who cares who i block? how does someone even notice that i block them? and why care, if they're so certain of their political claims? and why do you care so much that 2 randos on twitter were sad i blocked them for saying stupid things? what a strange topic to be on, but par for the course for VINO who constantly does this here. does this count as bullying me? 🤣

I am not sure why he would openly admit to breaking the law buying his property. I read a post where people warned him what he was doing was not normal declaring so low and he kept arguing he was right. Probably not the brightest if he is posting how he is evading taxes in the USA either. Still think he doesn't deserve to be deported and even worse if the media got ahold of the story.
you should try reading what i wrote, again. and not reading what the Peronists here have claimed i wrote. literally every person in the USA pays the least amount of taxes they can; to recap, this isn't tax evasion. and literally every person in Argentina is evading taxes except for earlyretirement, so me stating that everyone is a criminal is just a statement, not me giving personal advice. i don't care what you do, but taxation is inherently theft, and i respect Argentines for being the world champs of hiding their savings for so many decades. it isn't easy under authoritarian tyrants :/

I read repeated posts where you got bullied over and over.
define bully. and show us where over and over is. i would laugh my ass off if these usernames got proven to be just Avocado trying to have friends that agree with them 😛 but mannnn, it sure feels like i'm getting bullied in part of this thread! or is this the part where the commies get to attack someone, and if they defend themselves it's somehow violence? i come from the Woke USA, so i know how the Lefty game works

every media outlet in the world is going to post about an American that gets deported for breaking the law in Argentina.
lol, WW3 is starting and you find this interesting? couple corrections here that i'm sad to see you're assuming:

1. i don't break the law in Argentina.

2. if you're talking about an Escritura being less than 100% of a property value, then literally every person (yourself included, i assume? if you bought an AC Split then you own, right? so you didn't declare 100% of the sale price, right?) is a criminal and would be subject to the same penalties, other than earlyretirement.

immediately faces issues in the USA for evading taxes there too and bragging about it online.
3. which taxes did i evade?

4. how did i "brag" about it, if you can find the evasion? making a statement that most taxation is theft and unconstitutional, and contributes to the starvation and murder of children in Palestine is not bragging. and saying that paying the least amount of taxes is the moral choice? well, looks like i was right again, now that our US tax dollars are attacking Iran. our Zionist regime-change overlords have been planning to colonize Iran for 30 years now; since Syria is now there's, it's the lasdt of the 7 countries Netanyahu wants. so yes, we should be civilly disobedient to stop the forever-wars. but that's not bragging. it makes me sad that my home country more and more doesn't align with my morals.

He will probably think twice about bullying someone online.
are you talking about me, still? or someone else? i definitely didn't bully you...you said something retarded, and i corrected you. then you apologized. then i accepted it, and challenged you to not assume things or try to read minds. then i went about my business and didn't think of it again. is that bullying?? i feel like when i open this Stickied thread and see my username mentioned a ton, and a few of the same dumbasses repeating the same lies about what i said, THAT would be more close to bullying, yeah? i sure don't see you coming to my defense when i'm being targeted...seems very one-sided and strange.

that being said, i like to argue, so i don't mind. but the victim-status-claiming tool of the radical Left works both ways, friend.

My husband read some of his posts about how he was declaring so little and he just said "oh boy". Almost as if this is the outcome he wanted.
bet you guys can't summarize what i actually wrote, or what my claims were. yes, i'm an animal lover, but i'm allergic to stupidity. do you have any idea what my point was about declaring 40% or 70% on a property title? please don't just repeat what the loud Peronists scream on this forum.

Repeatedly harassing several members of this forum.
define harassment. who is being harassed? give specific links.

the sad reality is that taxes are a necessity.
i see a world where Foreign-Earned Income Taxes on USA expats is ruled unconstitutional. some may think it's a necessity, but some people also made that same claim about many things in history that are now gone (slavery, etc.)

I still don't think he understands Argentina too well.
we can continue this on twitter or another thread 😉

I have watched people that have lived here for decades give him advice which he brushes off
the ones that recommended border-runs and overstaying, which i warned about for 17 months, and now i was totally vindicated? i don't brush things off; i challenge ideas that don't make sense to me, and if i'm mistaken i change my mind. i used to be pro-war, now i'm rabidly anti-war. i used to be very religious, now i don't go to church. i used to be interested in fantasy books, and now i am more interested in history and economics and politics. the point being, i may be an asshole, but i certainly don't just brush-off what people say. some people insist i need to pay a lawyer thousands, yet i've already helped someone get a DNI twice. so what exactly didn't i listen to, from who? do you agree that those oldtimers shouldn't have recommended breaking immigration laws? and do you agree i was correct for calling them out? lord knows how many people know have a black mark on their record because some goofball assured them tHeRe WiLl NeVeR bE a PrObLeM

I think any bad outcome that may come his way, he is partially to blame.
i'm not sure what bad outcome you mean, but of course i am responsible for my own life, just like anyone. those who get blacklisted from Argentina for years of immigration violations will, too. and the Argentines who evade taxes 24/7 and declare 70% value are in the exact same boat as me; the crime is the same (declaring a false price). i didn't choose how the Notaries do things, and i tried to do everything in the White, but as you know 99% of Argies would never follow these tyrannical laws/taxes. do you agree that literally every other property owner other than you is a criminal, for declaring 99% or lower on the deed? and for using Cuevas against the communist Cepo etc. laws?

I would still say that it's best to just get this situation resolved. It may be past the point of no return but according to @Avocado no apology was offered which seems crazy to me. To each his own.
what situation? me arguing with the ~3 peronists for a year and a half?

past what point of no return?

what should i apologize about? correcting a Peronist on posting lies? i'm a bit confused here; i don't mind if the few brigaders want to talk sh*t to me, but if you honestly think i need to apologize to someone, please post it here or message me or WhatsApp or iMessage me. i really am not going to go back and try to read all the new threads....this one was just stickied by you, then i suddenly saw my username mentioned a ton.

what seems crazy to you? that i dislike Avocado and the Lefties for posting the same stupid things over and over about "Milei bad" ? genuinely have no idea what you think is crazy. i think them coming to an Expat forum and repeating the same thing is crazy...

I am not sure why you would want to post you are cheating on taxes.
oh. my. god. are you guys sharing talking points? who is posting about cheating on taxes? do you agree that literally every Argentine criminally cheats on taxes? (hint, you're either an idiot or a liar if you disagree, so i'm sure we can agree that every citizen here is a "criminal" on paper)

I probably should participate more and plan to once I retire and move down to Buenos Aires in the next 4 years.
please do!

Everyone in Argentina is probably in the black a little
every Argentine is in the black as much as they possibly can be...you know this. literally every person working or owning real estate here is a "criminal" for declaring less than their full wages or the full sale price; 99% is still a crime, so is 70% and 40%.

Has @StatusNomadicus apologized? I would give him the opportunity to just send you a message and apologize and move on. I am not sure if you presented him with that option but it would be good for everyone involved.
apologized for what?

you should seriously consider dropping this before it gets out of control. @StatusNomadicus just apologize and put this to bed.
dropping what? i've been posting on the old censored forum and this forum for 2 years now, and when retarded peronists brigade an Expat forum, if no one else has told them to f*ck-off, i will. not going to apologize for correcting the ~3 socialists here when they constantly spam "Milei is evil/bad" - why should i? or are you talking about something else? i haven't been reading as much on this forum this year

Sounds like he did leave it.
true, the USA unfortunately is choosing Peronism/Kirchnerism, and now we're financing ANOTHER regime-change in Iran. i've lived through and been close to several now: Afghan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and now Iran is 7 out of 7. sad to see, but what can we do, other than 'vote with our dollar' and choose to not be a part of the empire's death machine?

You would have to be a complete moron to get kicked off or banned from a free Buenos Aires expats website.
actually, many of us got banned from the old censored forum BAExpats dot org. are you new here? the old forum was heavily-censored and anti-free-market. i personally got banned by Igor before i even moved to Argentina. he's a little tyrannical cuck 🙂

@StatusNomadicus lost me a while back when he tried to say there was no inflation in Argentina over the past 18 months.
again, you're repeating the same script...where did i say there is no inflation? jesus christ a few of you are retarded. i literally post graphs from twitter about how May2025 inflation was 1.5% monthly. the only thing i've ever tried to say is that the prices of many things i buy regularly have stayed the same or even gone down in 2025, which was neverrrrrr the case in 2023 under the communist kukas. please argue with me about what i actually said, not what the ~3 peronists here repeat daily. it gets really boring having to correct the same thing. this is like the 15th time someone has done this.

he was convinced that crypto transactions were going to be common for real estate transactions.
you're the smug guy in the 1990s who said the internet was never going to be big ... Blockchain tech is here to stay, and yes eventually it will be used for birth certificates, apostilled documents, property deeds, vehicle titles, etc.

more and more people will use Crypto to buy things. you think bags of 100 USD bills is the end of human development?? lol, when i paid for my place here, i used cryptocurrency and it worked fantastically. i was not the first; dozens of people already did it in Buenos Aires. you're not as smart as you believe, so it makes sense i have you Muted. already got dumber reading this latest 'take' of yours on this thread. goodbye, smug dummy!

They come to Argentina and all of a sudden think they know it all.
no idea who you're talking about, but it isn't me. you should try reading what i wrote, instead of what a few other people ("bullies"?) claim that i said.

Funny seeing him block anyone on X that disagrees with him. Even people he didn't interact with. Says it all about him.
twitter has a huge bot problem. and there are a lot of stupid communists there. if you don't block people, your feed will be horrible. my feed instantly became better when i blocked CNN, Fox News, and all the other war propaganda outlets.

the guy who claims he didn't interact with me posted on a thread i was chatting with BuySellBA. he said something stupid, so i blocked him. just like i'm clicking Mute on you now for trying to read my mind and take a soundbyte version of me, like a typical low-IQ NPC. enjoy!

Don't let this forum go to sh*t like the old forum.
the only thing wrong with Comrade Igor's old forum was that it was censored. Earlyretirement is pro-free-speech, so there's no way this forum can go to sh*t 🙂

Agree about not letting this forum go down like the other. I actually like that there is no moderating here unless things get crazy. Been interesting to watch this play out.
agreed, only moderation should be obvious spam and calls for violence (crimes).

watch what play out?

Probably a good idea for him to start talking to an immigration now to prepare for it.
are you talking about me or someone else? i have no idea why you think i would need an immigration (attorney?)

@StatusNomadicus came here and judging from these posts on X blocks anyone that doesn't think like him. Even people that didn't engage with him. He comes on this forum and tells locals not to post and calls them communists. Thinks he knows everything.
you've GOT to be one of Avocado's accounts...no way you organically have the exact same talking points 😆 look at how similar these quotes are! "even people that didn't engage with him" - am i just arguing with one bot here, using multiple accounts? would kinda be funny, if not so sad.

Peronists are communists. the ideology and worship of a benevolent dictator are the same. sorry if you don't understand that yet. i don't know everything, but i do know that we become averages of our peers, and you're too stupid for me to bear reading anymore, so i choose to Mute. bye!

It sounds like he fled the USA
who fled? i came to Argentina to see if there was liberty here, and i'm currently watching the entire theory of free-market/Austrian Economics be proven to work in real-time 🙂 i didn't "flee" anything; i could easily go back to the land of Juan Domingo Trump and continue being successful if i wanted. you know it's not easy to move an entire life, and 99% of humans would never do it.

Yes some of his posts went overboard
link them please. what's overboard? debating politics? i heard someone is doxxing here; is that overboard, too? i notice you didn't mention it.

man that was a lot of responses! i'm still not sure, am i allowed to defend myself when people accuse me of things, or when i respond is that bullying? happy Sunday to everyone except the peronist brigaders 😗

sure; no way to enforce Expats-only...but i can't be the only one noticing that there are ~3 local Peronists who spend a lot of time here, 95% of which is spamming "Milei evil" on every thread. some people may identify as locals now, but obviously we all start as Expats, and it's a very unique life than 99% of humans choose not to live, so it would be nice if the Peronists would spam a forum tailored for locals, rather than post so much here on an ExpatsBA forum. i know most people don't like conflict and avoid it at any cost, but after the 100th time of one of these clowns posting literally the same sentence, someone ought to call them out!


we all appreciate you, and many of us are refugees from the old censored forum, where certain liberty-minded topics were censored. i haven't been reading/posting here as much since i've been busy this Fall, but i enjoy reading this forum, especially the oldtimers who are helpful with tramites and other topics! if there was a way to support the forum, i'd pay monthly in crypto or pesos or dollars (i know you don't intend to monetize it that way, but if it ever becomes an option, i'm sure i'm not the only one who would help out with the domain and hosting stuff!)


i don't want to catch-up on tons of posts/threads about this, and i'm not the offended type when people mention my name, so if one of these "certain forum members" is me, please let me know which rule i broke, or if not, can we have an example of who is creating problems, and specifically how? clarity would be good if there are people who might be banned


also missed this; which user did that, and to who? doxxing not only isn't allowed in any forum, it's a crime in most countries (harassment and incitement to political violence, with the intent to destroy a person personally and financially). i find that 99% of doxxing is done by Leftist extremists, so i wonder if the ~3 Peronists harbor this doxxer...


like i said in another forum, it's funny to me when the word "illegal" is brought up, because literally every Argentine is committing fraud on a daily basis 😛 it's the national sport. my plumber receives cash and doesn't pay taxes on it. my notary receives USD cash and doesn't declare all of it. the police don't have bodycams and take cash bribes to not write tickets. the majority of Argentines with dogs don't pick-up their poop and thus litter...the list is endless, so i think there's a difference between advocating for crimes with victims (malum en se) versus just pointing-out circumstances where literally everyone in the country other than earlyretirement is breaking the law (the law is stupid). border runs and overstaying are illegal, yet there are still being recommended here on this forum by a few people in 2025; the standard needs to be consistent, if enforcing laws here is the goal 🙂


i think it would help if your Moderator (i think you still have a Mod here, yeah?) would identify any rules being broken, so the Golden Rule is clear. for example, when a Peronist posts about wanting 'rich expats' to be kicked-out of Argentina, i think it's moronic and they should be laughed-at until they shut-up, but i don't think a rule is broken there, nor should it be ban-able. when they constantly post the same things about Milei being a Nazi/evil, i think that could be seen as a history of making the forum worse, and could result in a warning (stay on-topic, etc.)

and also when Leftists here post fake news from Peronist sites, and someone on the other side of the political spectrum calls them a moron, i also don't think that's a ban-worthy thing...if you post here and make a claim, just like on any part of the internet, your ideas will be challenged. don't like conflict? don't spend hours posting the same Socialist nonsense on an ExpatsBA forum /shrug


for sure, it's a hard choice, because 99.9% of people don't follow-up about these types of things. and sometimes literally no one online has provided any info. that's why i try to post screenshots and redacted info, because hopefully i'm careful enough not to hurt anyone i know, and also i'd like to pay-back the community that has helped me immensely. but i totally understand the desire to just lurk and not put any info out there. i think @BowTiedMara is smart for wearing a mask; Leftist extremists are violent and will try to destroy people they disagree with.


i don't see a lot. in fact, it's probably 3 main Peronists who make the forum worse, as i've mentioned before. @Che Vos was horrible back in the day but i haven't seen much recently. @Avocado is quite uneducated and you can tell they have no clue how the real world works. and @Larry is the loudest of the communists, constantly screaming about how Milei is evil and everyone is going to die of starvation. who else do you find problematic? and do you think arguing about politics is problematic? often i find it distracting when i'm posting content about an Immigration task, and the Peronists come to brigade and disrupt the conversation. but i really don't see more than a handful here, out of the dozens of active users with usernames.


we disagree with some things, but what type of post do you find to be acting like children? doxxing i would say is much more than being naive/immature.


where is this? i have wondered for a while if you're just a sockpuppet account of Avocado. similar writing and low-IQ posts


if you read the old censored forum, there are a handful of Peronists there (i would put a lot of money that the Peronists here are related or the same people) who got so mad at earlyretirement being pro-liberty/Milei, and creating this forum where all sides aren't censored, that they were planning to try to bring the site down. sad, but typical commies if you look at the Woke side in the USA and elsewhere (cancel culture, words are literally violence, etc.)


who? what problems, specifically? (a heated argument isn't a "problem" by the way). if they didn't break a forum rule, would you still ban them? because if so, you should go on the old forum, where that pro-censorship mentality is shared by the douchers over there


who is doing this?


did i miss something big since i've been not as active? i legit haven't seen bullying, but i suppose it depends on how one defines bullying. responding to a personal attack isn't bullying, nor is challenging a claim made. for instance, when i post evidence that prices are stable or going down, and the ~3 Peronists here call me an idiot and tell everyone to laugh at me, and make stupid claims like i don't speak Spanish, am not in Argentina, and have no idea what i'm talking about, is that bullying? (i don't think it is, but obviously i get attacked all the time when i post prices and experiences. but only by the Peronists)


who?


ah, i forgot about you...i also have been wondering for some time if you're one of the Avocado crew, a puppet account, or one of the brigading BAExpats peronists

and lol @ spending so much time thinking about me, and my twitter account 😉 you sure spend a lot of time worrying about me! the 2suns2moons Morel guy ... who cares? lots of people disagree with me on the internet...so you found 2 people on twitter than i blocked? out of how many people? i block a LOT of spammers and warmongers. all 2suns2moons Morel does is post crypto tokens saying "Number Go Up" - i have no idea why i blocked him, but glancing at his profile it was a good move. i don't want to see tokens like "Hyperliquid" and "SOL" spammed...

and anyone can look at the DavidSLiberdad twitter profile and see he just spams pro-war pro-Netanyahu zionist stupidity, and anti-Milei non-sequiturs. i block a lot of people on twittter; there are millions of people in the world that i find to be morons. who cares who i block? how does someone even notice that i block them? and why care, if they're so certain of their political claims? and why do you care so much that 2 randos on twitter were sad i blocked them for saying stupid things? what a strange topic to be on, but par for the course for VINO who constantly does this here. does this count as bullying me? 🤣


you should try reading what i wrote, again. and not reading what the Peronists here have claimed i wrote. literally every person in the USA pays the least amount of taxes they can; to recap, this isn't tax evasion. and literally every person in Argentina is evading taxes except for earlyretirement, so me stating that everyone is a criminal is just a statement, not me giving personal advice. i don't care what you do, but taxation is inherently theft, and i respect Argentines for being the world champs of hiding their savings for so many decades. it isn't easy under authoritarian tyrants :/


define bully. and show us where over and over is. i would laugh my ass off if these usernames got proven to be just Avocado trying to have friends that agree with them 😛 but mannnn, it sure feels like i'm getting bullied in part of this thread! or is this the part where the commies get to attack someone, and if they defend themselves it's somehow violence? i come from the Woke USA, so i know how the Lefty game works


lol, WW3 is starting and you find this interesting? couple corrections here that i'm sad to see you're assuming:

1. i don't break the law in Argentina.

2. if you're talking about an Escritura being less than 100% of a property value, then literally every person (yourself included, i assume? if you bought an AC Split then you own, right? so you didn't declare 100% of the sale price, right?) is a criminal and would be subject to the same penalties, other than earlyretirement.


3. which taxes did i evade?

4. how did i "brag" about it, if you can find the evasion? making a statement that most taxation is theft and unconstitutional, and contributes to the starvation and murder of children in Palestine is not bragging. and saying that paying the least amount of taxes is the moral choice? well, looks like i was right again, now that our US tax dollars are attacking Iran. our Zionist regime-change overlords have been planning to colonize Iran for 30 years now; since Syria is now there's, it's the lasdt of the 7 countries Netanyahu wants. so yes, we should be civilly disobedient to stop the forever-wars. but that's not bragging.


are you talking about me, still? or someone else? i definitely didn't bully you...you said something retarded, and i corrected you. then you apologized. then i accepted it, and challenged you to not assume things or try to read minds. then i went about my business and didn't think of it again. is that bullying?? i feel like when i open this Stickied thread and see my username mentioned a ton, and a few of the same dumbasses repeating the same lies about what i said, THAT would be more close to bullying, yeah?

i like to argue, so i don't mind. but the victim-status-claiming tool of the radical Left works both ways, friend.


bet you guys can't summarize what i actually wrote, or what my claims were. yes, i'm an animal lover, but i'm allergic to stupidity. do you have any idea what my point was about declaring 40% or 70% on a property title? please don't just repeat what the loud Peronists scream on this forum.


define harassment. who is being harassed? give specific links.


i see a world where Foreign-Earned Income Taxes on USA expats is ruled unconstitutional. some may think it's a necessity, but some people also made that same claim about many things in history that are now gone (slavery, etc.)


we can continue this on twitter or another thread 😉


the ones that recommended border-runs and overstaying, which i warned about for 17 months and now i was totally vindicated? i don't brush things off; i challenge ideas that don't make sense to me, and if i'm mistaken i change my mind. i used to be pro-war, now i'm rabidly anti-war. i used to be very religious, now i don't go to church. i used to be interested in fantasy books, and now i am more interested in history and economics and politics. the point being, i may be an asshole, but i certainly don't just brush-off what people say. some people insist i need to pay a lawyer thousands, yet i've already helped get a DNI twice. so what exactly didn't i listen to, from who?


i'm not sure what bad outcome you mean, but of course i am responsible for my own life, just like anyone. those who get blacklisted from Argentina for years of immigration violations will, too. and the Argentines who evade taxes 24/7 and declare 70% value are in the exact same boat as me; the crime is the same. i didn't choose how the Notaries do things, and i tried to do everything in the White, but as you know 99% of Argies would never follow these tyrannical laws/taxes.


what situation? me arguing with the ~3 peronists for a year and a half?

past what point of no return?

what should i apologize about? correcting a Peronist on posting lies? i'm a bit confused here; i don't mind if the few brigaders want to talk sh*t to me, but if you honestly think i need to apologize to someone, please post it here or message me or WhatsApp or iMessage me. i really am not going to go back and try to read all the new threads....this one was just stickied by you, then i suddenly saw my username mentioned a ton.

You need to learn a lesson or two kid. I like some of your posts but you need to know how to read a room. There are literally poster after poster telling you that you are the problem and you are arguing with everyone. Which is fine and it sounds like you like doing.
