    this reminds me of the advice for people who win the lottery

    make an anonymous LLC company to accept your win, so you can stay incognito

    pay a lawyer and an accountant so you can continue to stay incognito and only tell your trusted friends and family about your good fortune

    so crazy assholes don’t come for you or them

    I guess this now applies to making it big in crypto money

      That some messed up US thing i never understood. Here in germany you are anonymous by default when you win. at most it is published from what state the winner was.

      That someone’s name and even address is published is so completely unimaginably absurd to me. makes no sense whatsoever.

      Fiduciary and accountant. Though the accountant may be redundant there. Fiduciaries are a specific type of lawyer/ financial advisor that is required to look out for your best interests, not theirs.
