On the other hand if these guys were known or exposed they won't be doing such stuff.  Being anonymous makes this guys do what they wanted.  Since, if they commited a crime and no one knows the identity of the perpetrators then they will just do it again and again just like what the government official do.  Due to the non-transparent transactions, they can steal how much they wanted to take.  If it is transparent then this corrupt official won't even dare to steal a single cents from the government funds that suppose to go to the development of the country.

Well I know that anonymity is very important to us, but we also need to know that high anonymity is also not good. And it is true that high anonymity makes way for a criminal to continue to commit their crime. But on the other hand there is also truth in what the OP is saying, when anonymity gets higher then there is no more opportunity for the government to regulate us and regulations could be useless.

I think anonymity is OK, as long as we know what we have to anonymize. Actually not everything we have must be anonymous, for me, I will transparency what is not my privacy. Likewise the government does not need to do full transparency, but only what is needed.
