This blog attempts to present the current status of digital currencies and their many implementations, including cross-border and multi-jurisdictional.<br /><br />Law enforcement issues are presented here in order to give digital and virtual currency issuers a broad overview of the enforcement landscape and the types of situations that may be encountered when exerting the right of financial privacy.Jon Matonishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04111660030028727950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2595455932654799850.post-6561128180563332682010-02-22T08:57:36.695+01:002010-02-22T08:57:36.695+01:00"Money laundering" is not a crime. It..."Money laundering" is not a crime. It's illegal by statute, but those statutes are pure bunk. Yes, they can help to track down real fraud, like phishing, but at great expense to honest people. Sort of like punishing all the kindergarten children because one or two misbehave and won't admit it. That's pure bunk, too.<br /><br />The correct way to cut down on phishing is to use public key encryption for access to accounts, not user names and passwords. See <a href="http://trubanc.com/" rel="nofollow">trubanc.com</a> for a simple implementation of that concept.<br /><br />Or simply teach people about phishing. Those too dumb to learn deserve to lose their money. Don't punish the rest of us by stealing our privacy in the name of stopping "money laundering."Bill St. Clairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18239727850851239731noreply@blogger.com
