But that also happens in the fiat system, so where's the flaw in crypto?

The flaw is that crypto was supposed to be better than fiat.

If real money enabled laundering as seamlessly as fake e-money I would call for its abolition and a return to the carving of giant stone wheels as currency.

Any attempt to say they are on the same level is intellectual bankruptcy.

Like asking "What's the problem with restricting access to VX? Everyone's got a can of bug spray in their cabinet and they're both organophosphates, brah!"
