As the Dutch daily newspaper De Telegraaf on 11. December reported, this permit requirement to ensure that Criminals who are planning to launder their money or to Finance terrorist actions, to be deterred. In order to obtain such a license, must notify the crypto-exchanges “unusual transactions”. In addition, the “Know Your Customer”-principle enters into force.
Kryptos and criminal machinations…
In fact, it is not far-fetched that the use of Cryptocurrencies for money laundering-activities. According to a more than 88 million US-dollars washed reported in the last two years to 46 crypto exchanges.
An example is a Website for Sexwerbung, Backpage, and has washed millions of dollars on Bitcoin. In a 93-page Federal indictment, the U.S. justice Department accused the Online sex market of money laundering. Other charges were of conspiracy and facilitation of Prostitution. In April 2018, the Ministry of justice Backpage castle, as, apparently, was that the companies years the Prostitution of Minors and the sex trade since its inception in 2004, have promoted.
cases such as these ensure that regulatory authorities are set to anonymous (or pseudonymous) crypto-currencies very suspicious, see confirmed.
…and how it really is
A few flakes of snow to make a Winter and as Quebec’s scientific Director, Rémi*, stresses, from currencies to make the criminal machinations of Crypto is still a very small part. So he published in April of this year, a report, in which he came to the conclusion that Bitcoin is mistakenly seen as a point of contact no 1 for money laundering and criminal activities. The facts do not support these claims. As it says in the report:
“Bitcoin is neither above the law nor is it a Magnet for illegal transactions: It makes up only a tiny part of the criminal money on the planet circulates. The reason is that It is less attractive for all who want to make transactions without a trace.“
To have the same results of numerous studies this year have already come. Like BTC-ECHO reported, has informed the South Korean Financial Information Unit (FIU) until the end of November that terrorists according to the traditional Bank or cash-Dodge. Bitcoin & co. for the Criminal, in fact, no Alternative. Also, the U.S. Congress and Europol have come to these results.
the reasoning of The Dutch Central Bank for a cryptographic-regulation shows that assumptions and conjecture are anchored so firmly, that even the multiple Entkräftigung you can not eliminate.
