Granted these are all very small "fish" and there are no real victims.
There are also no victims from what BitInstant/Charlie Shrem is alleged to have done.
The only people being victimized here are the ones having their anonymity taken away, and Charlie who is having his rights to liberty and property infringed. The only criminals are the ones enforcing this immoral law.
I think the point is that this kind of activity creates a marketplace that makes it easier for potential terrorists to launder money.
I believe in people being able to protect themselves from terrorists, including the Western terrorists who are currently killing people in Middle Eastern countries.
I don't believe in violating people's rights to try to prevent terrorism.
If people are openly breaking AML rules then a terrorist can see this
And if people stop killing brown people terrorists will have a lot less to be mad about. If monetary freedom increases, people can protect themselves from being forced to fund imperialist wars, and the ability to wage those wars will decrease, as will the retaliations.
