Hey, it's "works" for the audiophile industry! /s

Oh gods does it!

Once they have some conclusive results I'm sure they'll be pouring ounces.

Most likely the JD kind, though possibly one of the many "Hoot Mon!" brands.

Yes - you need something like this http://www.luxurylaunches.com/transport/worlds_largest_super_yacht_costs_420_million_sets_new_record.php to get rolling! A $420 million floating 13,000 ton luxury resort with a population of 94 (24 guests and 70 hired help).

10% of your current worth is not the same as 10% of your income, so it kinda depends on what exactly they're basing the 10% on.

This guy got a million dollar speeding ticket for doing 180 in a 75 zone. It appears that Switzerland fines you based on your income. Oops.

On the other hand, if he was fined 10% of his personal assets, instead of his income, the ticket might have been even larger. My personal take on this concept is that it would be highly effective, especially if the percentage per violation increased if you continued to perform illegal acts... If the first time, they took one million dollars because you had ten million, and then the second time, they took another million, even though you only had nine million remaining...

Some folks will buy all sorts of weird shit
