    DO some reading about methods(illegal or semilegal) of avoiding bankruptcy penalties. ALL of them can be used legally to acquire credit if you aren't attempting to avoid tax or bankruptcy penalties. Also techniques used to generate Ghost identities. Credit companies will give out cards to anyone with ability to pay.

    And in point of fact, the truly relevant passage is

    Nationals of a State which is not bound by the Convention are not protected by it. Nationals of a neutral State who find themselves in the territory of a belligerent State, and nationals of a co-belligerent State, shall not be regarded as protected persons while the State of which they are nationals has normal diplomatic representation in the State in whose hands they are.

    Please don't associate the apostate Roman Church with true Christianity. They persecuted Christians along with the Jews, Muslims, Greeks, etc. They didn't really care.

    Except the only contemporary written testimony from the area on that subject says that he could and did. Now, you are welcome to argue bias in the historians, but there is no extant written testimony refuting the claims.

    You act as if it is easy to determine who is responsible for the fraud when it occurs. They lock accounts involved in fraudulent transactions. DUH! If you recieve money that is stolen, things have to be settled. Doesn't matter whether it is meatspace or online. IF a cashier at walmart accepts a fake $100 bill, walmart is out $100. If they catch the guy who passed it he gets arrested, even if he didn't print it. Sometimes the system works, sometimes it doesn't.
