I think in the US, it's a war on drugs thing--though it could also be a Cold War thing. Just musing though, but yeah it's wild that we don't think this is a right.
It goes back further than that, at least to the prosecution of organized crime syndicates in the early part of the 20th century. Al Capone went to jail for tax evasion, after all.
Yeah for sure, famously. I think the evolution of like, KYC and the global financial surveillance system probably came about for Cold War or War on Drugs reasons though.
