financial interest

Read a random definition: deductible business expense

A quick definition of financial interest:

A financial interest is when someone wants to make money or gain some kind of financial benefit. It can be a legal claim to something, like owning part of a company or property, or it can be a right to receive money from something like a trust. There are different types of financial interests, like a controlling interest where someone owns more than half of a company and can make important decisions, or a contingent interest where someone can only get money if a certain condition is met.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Financial interest refers to any advantage or profit of a financial nature that a person desires. It can also refer to a legal share or right in property.

Examples:

  • A person who invests in a company's stock has a financial interest in the company's success.
  • A landlord has a financial interest in collecting rent from their tenants.
  • A beneficiary of a trust has a financial interest in the assets held in the trust.

These examples illustrate how a person can have a financial interest in various situations. In each case, the person stands to gain financially from the outcome of the situation.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
