I'm not convinced that money laundering should be considered a crime any more than speech

Yes!

Thank you for not writing "free speech". It's just speech.

Where do these assholes get off, thinking they should decide how everyone on Earth uses money?

Its the statist ego trip god complex. Its only psychopathy that wants to control everyone else. The power wielded when you control trade between individuals is crazy.

Its the same tendency to snoop on everyone's communications with each other. The same as the desire to break into any secured systems.

Of course all of this makes law enforcement easier. Of course there is a tradeoff with crime and harm. But there are bigger tradeoffs. Those that have no malicious intent pay the price. Totalitarianism masks itself and safety and law. Any law enforcement agency would love to have keys for every lock. Be able to record every conversation and see both ends of every transaction. Like all humans they want to make their jobs easier.

These are the tools of tyranny. Never forget that.

If we can just carve out one place that's free of this shit, everyone else can have as much tyranny as they want.
