I was ready to come in and prove you wrong but I found this in the Steam Support FAQ:
>Will you be asking me to provide tax information to you, and/or will you be providing 1099’s based on my transactions in the Community Market?
No. Previously we required that U.S. citizens and residents provide us with certain information, including name, address and social security number, prior to exceeding 200 separate sales transactions in a calendar year. We have concluded that this information is not required and we will no longer be asking you for this information as part of Community Market participation. We will also not be providing IRS Form 1099’s with respect to sales activity in the Community Market.
With that in mind, it seems like you can money launder fairly easily, right? I thought that the 1099s were the primary blocker to that.
