Have you actually tried to send a Western Union lately? Ugh. It is a nightmare compared to just linking your bank account.
I use Coinbase because they don't support payment systems that cater to criminals.

- dsl 13y agoComparatively maybe less than .01% of all banking transactions involve illicit funds. I had lunch with a DEA agent who claimed that 5-10% of all dollars transmitted by Western Union were the result of drug trafficking.
- downandout 13y agoIt's not shocking that a DEA agent thinks that 5%-10% of WU transactions are drug-related. DEA personnel are constantly looking for reasons to validate their own pointless existence. When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. I would be incredibly shocked, however, if that number were even remotely accurate.
