Seems like nonsense witchhunt based on three numbers:<p>&quot;The estimated amount of money laundered globally in one year is 2 - 5% of global GDP[1]&quot;<p>&quot;...government charges, Liberty Reserve processed 55 million separate financial transactions and laundered $6 billion in criminal proceeds. [2]&quot; (I assume they just summed up total amount of transactions here, just because they can...)<p>&quot;Budovsky admitted in his plea agreement to laundering more than $250 million in criminal proceeds. [3]&quot;<p>So, $250 mil. is 4% of $6 bn. Which is within normal range of money laundering rates.<p>He&#x27;s getting it probably because he wasn&#x27;t licensed and wasn&#x27;t giving up data, or something like that.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.unodc.org&#x2F;unodc&#x2F;en&#x2F;money-laundering&#x2F;globalization.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.unodc.org&#x2F;unodc&#x2F;en&#x2F;money-laundering&#x2F;globalizatio...</a>
