Given the fundamental truth that "everything is tax fraud" would it actually make it easier to identify crime by making it easier for criminals to open bank accounts?

A numbered account at a US financial institution would presumably be much easier for the US government to execute a warrant against and get the transactions than some adversarial international Hawala network or privacy coin which would be equally in the dark about the target's social security number (if any).
