This was the strategy used to prosecute Al Capone. IIRC, they couldn’t get enough evidence to directly charge him for his other (violent) crimes, so they built a successful case of tax evasion. With such leverage, they started to dismantle his organization, whereupon they found the evidence to press more charges.
- hobobaggins 3y agoSo why not just throw everyone's rights out and just start searching their homes for evidence of crimes, or at least something that can be prosecuted because it might be a crime? We'll surely get a significant amount of people who are doing or own things they shouldn't. Maybe even as high as 1%!
- voakbasda 3y agoI never said that I approve of these tactics. Quite the opposite. I meant it as a warning: the KYC system will be used against you. If you commit a crime (or even rock the boat too much), expect these records to be combed over and leveraged against you. At the very least, authorities will likely obtain a search warrant and systematically attempt to destroy your life.
