The imaginary crime of money laundering. If the underlying activity is a crime, we already have laws to deal with that. Why is any attempt at financial privacy deemed money laundering? Why does making any tool that help law abiding citizens have financial privacy, also guilty of money laundering?

Of course, now that most people have bought into money laundering, the goal posts are now getting moved that any attempt at privacy can be considered illegal.

You use or provide a messaging service that has unbreakable privacy - we'll make this a crime too!

Why should it be illegal to use a crypto tumbler/mixer service?

Oh because some people use it for crimes.

Then arrest the CEOs of gun companies, because guns can be used to commit crimes!
