Well I say that if you don't even know what makes their coins dirty (besides keeping your coins on exchanges [LOL]), then how are people supposed to stay compliant on their platform?
They will just give generic/vague suggestion, such as don't interact with non-compliant platform or don't take any involvement any illegal activity.
These tools are useful and sometimes it costs money. So having free information was not bad if this was only about information instead of encouraging to report addresses and help those companies to build their database. I wonder how much they are getting paid from these AML Risk Scorers and AML Analysis agencies.
But how could we know if it's accurate or just an assumption? Would they be willing to show how they rate these scores on what data or accusations?
We will never know. It'll take serious legal action to find out some details or how well it actually works. For example, legal action uncovered that Chainalysis rely on customer feedback rather than scientific evidence to evaluate it's accuracy[1].
