So? By what moral reasoning is money laundering actually wrong?
- JumpCrisscross 10y agoWe live in a society built on the rule of law. Money laundering is illegal because it subverts society's ability to enforce its rules.
- petertodd 10y agoSo what do you think of Tor then? Or VPN's? Or SSL? They all subvert society's ability to enforce its rules.
- StavrosK 10y agoOr locked doors and sealed envelopes.
- S_Daedalus 10y agoI think that locked doors and sealed envelopes are symbolic, and have been for far longer than we've been alive.

- mbrock 10y agoThere's a conflation of terms going on. The definition of "money laundering" is transforming "dirty money" into "clean money", and "dirty money" is by definition wrong, or at least illegal. Anonymizing money for non-dirty purposes is something else. The mechanics might be identical to money laundering mechanics, but we shouldn't call it laundering.
