All the research that was founded by tax dollars in the 70s before all the research was privatised (like nor more scientific publications how it was done etc).
You wouldn't even be allowed to clamp the car or interfere with their property on your property. The police won't help you either. It is the task of the civil court system to liquidate damages until then they will have to be tolerated. See somewhere in this podcast by a public radio by a lawyer. https://www.mdr.de/nachrichten/podcast/rechthaber/audio-stro...
You would be able to tow after contract is terminated usually after two months without payment but until then you are not allowed to touch their car.

If UpWork thinks they are the same they should sue Robin in court not take money away without a court order.

The contract of sale is between you and the buyer. The contract for work is between UpWork and the contractor. Find the difference. eBay doesn't take a 30% cut for that reason.

> no platform would survive if they allowed freelancers keep the money earned by carding, because it would be flooded with carders.
The collary is true too though. No freelancer could survive if they don't receive money from carding, because they still worked for these hours and deserve to be paid. And since it is Upwork, not the freelancer, doing the payment processing. It is them who should be held responsible as the freelancer don't even get access to the card information so the could check for fraudulence themselves
Can be quiet toxic advice for people with ADHD.
