Structures don't make people do illegal things, people do illegal things.

Yes, "hiding your money" might seem like it reduces accountability, but the law has a solution to that (called prison).

Yes, as we all well know the law is imperfect, and administered by imperfect people.

None of this removes the legitimate value people get from using financial tools properly. Just because cars are used as getaway vehicles doesn't mean we should ban cars.

This might be a good argument if "this person did something really bad and escaped accountability by shielding their assets" were a crime that results in prison time. But it ain't!
