    There’s no reason people using tornado wouldn’t have to disclose their sources to the authorities, same as cash.

    But it does protect them from malicious actors.

      I don’t think you understand. Banks (or anyone who accepts large amounts of money) has a duty to have some idea of where that money comes from. There are anti money laundering laws.

      Go open a bank account right now and try to deposit a briefcase full of $50,000 in cash and see what happens. You might, maybe be able to do it, but there will absolutely be questions.

          I think it will go to my quotes collection. “We know what the rules are, we are saying they’re wrong”.

        That doesn’t apply to small amounts below $10k

        But, again, the same applies. I deposit btc or cash into a bank, even $50k, then I disclose its source to the authorities, with the paperwork. But by using a privacy service, I can comply with the law and protect myself from malicious actors

        Go open a bank account right now and try to deposit a briefcase full of $50,000

        I’ve done this. They ask you for the paperwork documenting the source of the funds. Just follow the process. It doesn’t matter if its fiat or crypto.
