Replying to myself here. Maybe I jumped the gun. The OP claimed that money laundering is not a crime, and that is patently false. However, maybe he simply meant that the application of the KYC/AML regulations may result in violations of the 4th amendment. In other words people getting their assets seized by the government, without the government demonstrating probable cause. Upon further reflection, I have to admit that such an outcome cannot be ruled out. The government itself would not seize the assets of the suspect, but the banks subject to the KYC/AML regulations may freeze their accounts when they see red flags. The end result, as seen from the suspect's point of view is the same. To be honest, I don't feel very comfortable about this. It does feel a bit like the government is indirectly seizing assets without a warrant. I will leave my comment without any conclusion, because I don't have any to share.
