Re: Why do people need to use Bitcoin for Money laundering?
Between 2004 and 2010, HSBC laundered Billions of Dollars for the Mexican Drug cartels and nobody blinked an eye. After
7 years of doing this, they got busted and they paid US$1.9bn in fines. {This could be recovered in profits, within a few
weeks} Most people saw this as a slap on the wrist for the people who were involved with this. Not one person working for the
Bank got jail time for doing this.

Ross Ulbricht, was sentenced to life in prison without parole for creating and running Silk Road, which allegedly facilitated
the sale of $250 million worth of drugs.
Why are we seeing such double standards, when Bitcoin is involved?

Well, we can say that Bitcoin is a very accessible platform for the criminals to take advantage and made this as a way for them to gather more and more money who will catch up to the bait since Bitcoin supports anonymity and we can say that criminals these days doesn't come only having a knife, it comes with an excellent ability with regards to technology so double safety must be practice.
