It already exists: the legal system.

Money laundering, child trafficking, drug profiteering, terrorism etc. they all come with costs.

And doing nothing to stop them is not good for anyone.

I'm not American and neither is Wikileaks. My country is not an enemy of America but neither is our support unconditional. I think it's great that Wikileaks drops American dirt. I think it's not great that America tries to cutoff donations to cover up its dirt. I think it's great that alternative payment systems circumvent that.
