I had a conversation with someone today that highlighted how confused many of you are about what money laundering is. Money laundering is the process whereby the proceeds of **crime** are transformed into ostensibly legitimate money or other assets Simply converting privately owned value (e.g. cash) from one form to another form (e.g. bitcoins), is **NOT** money laundering. Period. Please, give that sufficient time to sink in.... AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer) policies are intended to turn everyday citizens into unpaid and untrained investigators and informants for the sole purposes of invading the privacy of law-abiding citizens. It is fear mongering. Furthermore, it perpetuates many very significant issues that are worse than money laundering (in my opinion) like identity theft. This is due to the redundant and unnecessary duplication of your vital statistics across numerous databases -- which then makes those databases highly attractive to hackers (not to mention the fact that this information is nearly always sold off at a later date to marketers); which weve seen time and time and time again. If youve had your identity stolen, you know the disgusting mess that this causes... We go along with this nonsense only because we are confused by the language and believe we are part of the solution. You arent, youre part of the problem. Its time to educate yourself... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_laundering
