Imagine you achieve your Crypto-dream, known mass murderers like the head of Wagner or Kadyrov will move money with impunity.

Current system is problematic, but I don't fancy the idea of money being conpletely untouchable by the system of justice

I wonder what else you don't fancy. I mean, your argument is essentially the financial version of the "terrorists and child molesters" argument. Do you also support mandated cryptography backdoors because cryptography also protects criminals?

All this mandatory financial reporting for "anti-money laundering" purposes or whatever is just the financial arm of the global panopticon. You're defending total global surveillance and control. You're advocating giving up freedom for security.

Yeah then law enforcement would actually have to catch Kadyrov for you know, murdering civilians rather than for moving money. That sounds awful.
