    This is entirely on Twitter. For your average person, sending a court-ordered fine to the wrong institution means it hasn’t been paid.

    Plus, theres the fact that Musk is completely untrustworthy. After all the effort it’s taken to get Twitter to pay up, I wouldn’t restore their ability to earn income from Brazilians until the fine was secured thoroughly and correctly.

      The xitter lawyers claim that there was no bank account indicated anywhere so they “had to guess” and are demanding xitter to be unlock as they paid the fine.

      In other words, either they’re grossly incompetent and can’t read, or they’re playing malicious by trying to abuse some loophole or anything to ultimately not pay the fine

          Or they could keep reading the notice(s) and check out all the clearly stated details on who, where and how to send the fine payment

        Yup. Or Musk never expected to pay the fine, so his lawyers never bothered to research the bank where he owed the money.

        I hope the government didn’t let Musk leave the country until his fine was settled.

          Yeah but here’s the thing, the details for payment of such things is always clearly disclosed on whichever notice they’ve received, and probably this was sent multiple times. Also the lawyers appointed by xitter are Brazilian, in a Brazilian firm, so they are familiar with how this works and the system is not dubious or misleading or confusing at all.

          Like I’ve said, they’re either grossly incompetent to a point that they can’t read anything, or they’re trying their “best” to avoid paying the fine but their best is comically pathetic at most.

      I wouldn’t trust Musk for anything!

      Not for a million dollars, not for a Brazilian dollars, not even for a trillion dollars!
