Criminals don’t need tutorials for such basic concepts. I worked with Sky in 2005, and back then NDS and Nagra were already explaining how content piracy was financing gun traffic, and Sky was putting it on informational ads. People wouldn’t care less, and kept buying pirate pay per view boxes. Engineers used to say ‘we must keep honest people honest, piracy buyers are a lost case’.

Because it’s cheaper and more economical to go after the little fish than the big fish, this effect is artificially induced by the capitalist class so they can exploit more and more whilst the state basically does their bidding, disproportionately exploiting the commoner and decreasing market competition.
The IRA is underfunded, understaffed and it doesn’t have many highly skilled forensic accountants and thus it’s the proletariat class that they go after to garner tax revenue.

@0WhiteKnight0 read your first sentence a couple of more times until you realise it can’t logically make sense. Little = small, big = large. Taking down one of the actual big fish siphoning of our system could have the type of impact to alleviate the housing crisis or world hunger. Small time timmy just congests an already congested system.

@@jackmurphy4825 I don’t think you understand my point, for every big fish you take tax revenue from, you can take tax revenue from thousands of little fish which is more profitable than that one big fish. As I said previously there’s a lack of skilled workers in the IRA that can actually garner tax revenue from the big fish without making an error that can be used as a defence, furthermore that evidently takes much longer as the tax code is complex and the wealthy use this to their advantage, hiring the best tax accountants and lawyers syphoned from the public sector.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t go after the ultra wealthy, I’m saying currently it’s not economical to do so and thus it’s not done to the degree desired. We should strive to change that and make the legal system more comprehensive, increase public funding and enact structural reform. America is quite different from the rest of the world, in other countries you don’t even need to file taxes every year unless you’re over a certain income bracket, the government does it for you.

The example with the receipt doesn’t make any sense. Businesses participating in ML would still claim, that x amount of purchases were made, while in reality it was x-y . Where y = the amount of money laundered.
Receipts help prevent tax evasion – not ML, unless governments require each business to issue a receipt for each individual trx. In a mixed scenario, merchants still have all the wiggle room they need for ML.

Liberty is once again the solution.
This guy says to just submit to all the criminal sanctions that black markets serve that is so much bigger than all those big corporations, and are all operated outside of the law or taxes. He says to submit to tracking your every move so government and big corporations can monitor it. He hates your privacy. He hates free markets. He hates free people.
Just submit and obey is the message. Money laundering only occurs because government prohibits businesses that have huge markets of people who want them and so the market continue, just outside of the legal system and taxes and makes all of us less safe.

Why? Are you doing something that you don’t want others to find? What about all the criminals who would extremely like this way of living to prevail? So they can keep doing what they want. How do you propose to stop them? Are you living in dictatorship that force their will absolutely on you? Or a democracy in which you get a say & freedom to change how the government is run or who makes decisions?
Do you feel you enjoying your privacy is more important than all these stopping all these criminals?
Do you think anyone would care in millions of humans what you do?

After Dorothy had been credited on all records with accomplishing only 3 minutes of duty while belonging in the military.

#1 problem in the world is poverty; poverty leads to crime. so stop telling us about what we need to do; how about the rich countries start sharing and stop exploiting. Greed started the worst economic crime of the century in 2008 onwards. How many rich corporations and/or politicians who knew about it are in trouble now compared to the millions of people affected? share the profits or will have to deal with poor people and crime all the time.
