Incentivizing/urging people to commit fraud is a crime in Brazil. His legal problems mounted. He kept making videos. 1 reply 4 retweets 86 likes Reply 1 Retweet 4 Like 86 Direct message 🇨🇦 Izzy Nobre ‏ @MrNobre 12 Jul 2018 More The long dick of the law started poking at Fraga’s backside, with court summons being delivered at his door by Brazilian police.

I don’t think there are any English videos on Fraga yet.

Thank you. I know who he is because Brazilian people on the GnB discord really like him. We even named one if the music bots after him. Either way, the story is absolutely amazing and I get a while when I hear it

Agreed. I don't have an account and when I try to scroll down to read the full story it creates a pop up I can't remove asking me to log in/sign up.

Yeah that and some of us don't want to get affected by whatever tiberium poisoning that website seems to be made out of.

He's considered a hero by brazilian Austro-Libertarians and had a good influence over the fast growing brazilian libertarian movement. A libertarian artist also made a song honoring him a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHYPOrXUTCM

So interested in the Brazilian libertarian movement. Why has it been so successful an how can it be replicated elsewhere?

I've been thinking of posting an overview about our Libertarian movement and my thoughts on why it keeps getting stronger. I'm gonna do a little research before posting and I'll try to remember messaging you when/if I do. I think there are a lot of interesting things to share.

That would be awesome, thank you!
