That's the not the point of the thread you're replying to.

Someone claimed that it was the bank's fault because they did nothing to prevent money laundering. Why would they if they are not forced to? When you run a business you do not turn customers away, especially they they want to give you plenty of cash... It's naive or hypocritical to claim otherwise.

I feel like you're missing the circular logic of your argument. The laws are crazy because banks will not self regulate. They openly allow illicit funds, so rules need to be applied to stem the source.

None is blaming them for accepting funds from anyone that they come across, but there should be no confusion as to why the rules exist: because the banks will indiscriminately allow the transfer of funds from illegitimate sources.

With that in mind, the rules are crazy, because the banks don't care.

Nothing circular in my argument. I feel you're wilfully ignoring what I wrote.

Nope. Please explain what point you are trying to make. None gets it

Ok.
