If you don't interfere with money laundering, the criminals eventually acquire enormous wealth, and with it power. They eventually acquire enough power to take over the government. At that point, you're at their mercy, and theorizing about privacy laws becomes a bit pointless.
- rusabd 5y agoSo you are saying that before money laundering laws those criminals took over the government. It is almost like said criminals just don't want any competition now
- auntienomen 5y agoMoney laundering laws emerged after criminals started getting organized about managing their wealth. Before Prohibition and Meyer Lansky, they were all small timers.
- crispyambulance 5y ago> eventually acquire enough power to take over the government I wonder, recalling the Panama Papers incident, if this has effectively happened already!
- jb775 5y agoThis has already happened. They typically launder money via "foundations" or "charities". They acquire power by purchasing media companies. They use the media companies to control public narratives to shift the Overton window of public policies. They also use it to manipulate the truth as it suits them[1]. Their target population for controlling thought narratives are yuppies and the lower classes.
