If "more than 2000" SARs are totaling $2tn, I don't think there's a lot of "Grandma Jones got a new bed and finally decided to trust the bank with her $11k secret savings".
> It's up to the US FINCEN to decide if a crime took place and to handle it accordingly. You decide if you trust them or not, but that is their role in this.
Who watches the watchmen?
- ceejayoz 6y ago> Who watches the watchmen? The US Attorney, who'd receive the information and decide whether or not to prosecute, and the juries/courts involved in that prosecution. Plus, the typical regulatory loop of Congress, courts, etc. involved in the all of the Department of the Treasury's doings.
- mabbo 6y agoThe same can be said for the CIA, FBI, Justice Department, etc. If you have a good suggestion for how one can trust their government to have secrets, but also not do bad things, please share it.
- luckylion 6y agoThe best I can come up with is having the press being their opposition that pokes and prods and calls them out when they see wrong being done. That's what this is, essentially. For maximum harm, you could simple release to the public and spread propaganda. For critical evaluation, leaking to the press is quite normal, I believe.
