Yes, laws against "money laundering" are immoral. They're an invasion of privacy. And income taxation is a joke. There are tax breaks for the wealthy. And they leverage them to pay even less. Cryptocurrencies democratize tax avoidance.

I suspect that most murder-for-hire offers have either been scams or entrapment. And regarding child porn, I can't imagine why anyone would pay for it. There's so much out there for free, after all.

Governments do whatever governments do. But so do people.

Fair enough I guess. I don't see much value in discussing this with a person who thinks taxation is a joke or that people buying child porn shouldn't be a concern because it can be acquired for free. Our opinions are already too far apart to find much common ground.
