> It’s surprisingly difficult to move around large amounts of fiat money without being caught
For the average Joe maybe.
For corporates? What a joke. I work in fintech systems for ForEx and credit lending. Gets abused by banks allllll the time. And I don't mean some sketchy african or asian bank. I mean HSBC. They still trade, despite the billions in fraudulent transactions they've knowingly moved.
And HSBC are just retarded, I promise you ALL the large banks have moved fraudulent transactions. Not always intentionally, but banks consist of people and people are easily swayed with the right pressure points.
Does crypto make this easier to do? Yes, but the problem isn't the medium of value transfer. That's as untrue of crypto as it is of fiat.
