If you try to pay off debt under the table how is that helpful in removing the imperialist restrictions on your person? It's already not a private situation. Don't give your ex the opportunity to claim you didn't pay.

My advice would be to power down starting now. You'll get 6/13 of your money unlocked by the time the double airdrop comes. Sell a couple thousand Hive immediately after the snapshot on jan 6.

Getting cash is obviously going to be very difficult considering your situation. You can hold the value as HBD till you figure it out.
