Not really. Someone steals money, sends them to you, your are having lots of trouble proving you are not an accomplice. If you are a government official, you can be framed as receiving a bribe.
In russia government can send your organisation money from abroad via an agent and then shut you down as a 'foreign agent'.
- Jtsummers 6y ago> In russia government can send your organisation money from abroad via an agent and then shut you down as a 'foreign agent'. They could do this with traditional banking systems as well. Presumably the Russian government has a high degree of surveillance with regard to their domestic banks like every other nation in the world has. Creating a false financial trail is made slightly easier with crypto currencies, but for a nation state it's not hard to do with traditional banking systems.
- Andrew_nenakhov 6y agoCreating a false trail is far more difficult than asking some scoundrel send 100 euro while vacationing in Italy or Spain. Also, for a FSB operative it is an opportunity to go to spain to 'supervise' the operation, lol.
- syrrim 6y agoHow do they prove they sent it to you?
- insert_coin 6y agoProve? we are talking about Russia here.
- leppr 6y agoMobileCoin transactions and balances are private and untraceable. This problem doesn't exist here.
- Andrew_nenakhov 6y agoThink again. A criminal sends you a known amount of money, then you are seized and phone is searched, and you receive the exact amount of money a criminal had sent you.
