Isn't the point of money laundering to obfuscate the identity of the original recipient of funds? Don't get me wrong, I'm not sure Taler would make things harder for regulators and law enforcement. KYC requirements apply even if the payment method itself is anonymous. But I'd think that given the opportunity, governments would like to have better oversight of financial transactions.
- pessimizer 6y agoThe point of money laundering is to conceal the source of funds. The way you conceal the source of funds is by creating fake receipts. Without receipts, a bunch of Thaler showing up for no reason is no different than a bunch of dollars showing up for no reason. You may be suspected of being a criminal.
