Is USD being used for illegal activities?

[awesome31312]

I see more and more articles of the USD being used for illegal activities, such as funding of terrorists and unconstitutional, illegal wars, funding of wars that cause severe infringement of civil liberties like the war on drugs, among other things. I am pretty sure that when goons smash into convenience stores and steal stuff, then the money they probably steal is USD, which makes it criminal currency. Also, I am pretty sure that the baseball bats that majority of the goons have bought were paid for by the USD.

Also, most people collect rain water, drink raw milk, and throw cannabis seeds in soil, all three acts which are considered serious illegal felonies punishable by seriously expensive fines and extensive jail time, possibly life in prison.

Some people also walk, drive, fish, or hunt without a permit that can easily be bought for in USD.
 
Will this hurt USD in the long run? Will governments ban this just like they started to do with paying in cash for some services to harden the use of illegal activities, and money laundering?

i think it's very possible, teroris have highest technology to mixing his money at bank without any trail, and untraceble.
i think people can buy anything use usd, the illegal activity with usd is very possible

goverment must ban any illegal activity, he must freeze the bank account of terorism

Euro is more suitable than USD for illegal activities. Since there are 500euro papers which hold a lotmore value than 100$. To answer your question, of course it is being used for illegal activities. It doesn't make USD guilty. USD is the most common currency around the world, thw most liquid... That's why terrorists choose USD over everything else.

Any currency are been used to any illegal activities aslong it is not fake and acceptable by any banks, and if you travel in different countries well you can see really that they are using their currency to buy those illegaly forbidden by the law. And thats the reason why my conclusion is this since currencies are powerfull and it can make the good to be worst.

Terrorists can use any currency for illegal activities. It may be be USD, EURO, Pound or even Bitcoins. So what matters most is that system which may caught such activities and most of the under developed countries do not have such a system as yet.

[Ryananda]

Not only USD, other currencies also very possible to use illegal. Very difficult to stop the illegal activity because the currency used very free and anyone can use it.

[bitbunnny]

Every currency in.the world is beeing used for illegal activities. How do you think that money laundering or selling drugs or weapons is happening? But that doesn't mean that the currencies should be marked as bad, criminal thing. And it's natural that most valuable and most liquid world currencis like Euro and US dollar are most popular for criminal activities also.

Nope not agree because USD is the currency which is using in large quantity around the world so Obviously usd only will be using in illegal activities as well to exchange the other fiat currencies easily.  Other currencies need to check and search for traders all time.

[Hazir]

Every currency is used as fuel to finance illegal activities. That is nothing new and nothing will ever change.
Of course the biggest culprits are usually the most recognized and 'marketable' currencies like USD, EURO, Pound etc.
But every country has their own criminal underworld and dark markets.

[Shiroslullaby]

All fiat currencies are used for illegal activities.
With USD being one of the most popular currencies in the world, of course it will be used for illegal things.

ha ha... Nice parody. Unfortunately, the USD has the support of the US government, while Bitcoin is an orphan.
So the treatment of governments to USD and BTC will be different.

[Doamader]

Look  the  fiat were and will alwyas be used to ilegal activities, the big organizations, they clean the money with companies, and then moove the money till achieve the right account, banks take their fee and dont care where the money is going out. But the media likes to attack bitcoin becuase its a new currencie, and banks arent taking their fee with crypto world, thats why they pissed.

I guess this is no difference  to every  currency in the world.  Since they are tool to buy things like food, clothing , shelter, gadgets, guns, ammunition and other stuff, they are always use for illegal activities.  Yet instead of the price to fall, since there is "more" demand than just using it for legal stuff,  the price ironically sky rocketed.  And of course no country will ever ban their currency.

every medium of exchange (fiat, precious metals, jewelry, digital currency) can be used for illegal activities. But term of "illegal" every countries is different, such porn in mostly asia is illegal but in EU or US is not, but it doesn't make the currency is criminal lol.

[~Bitcoin~]

Media and government only guess that bitcoin like currency or other digital forms of payment processor are involved or used by terrorist or for other illegal activites. But it is quite known fact that terrorist at one country get fund from the government of another country that try to keep the country under civil war and terrorist attack so that they can't get developed and utilize the natural resources they have. If you look at the arab and african countries internal war you can find out how other countries try to supply require materials to the terrorist so that they can use them to take away all oils and precious metals those groups captures or mine themeselves in cheaper price.

fiat is used for the good purpose also for any other different purpose, it is not only USD , it is any currency and in any country ,but USD is common in the world so USD gains priority on these, first this every country governments should have strict rules on fiat money currency , like tax implementation wherever it is possible and also tracking methods for money flow.

[bryant.coleman]

The United States Dollar is the no.1 currency of choice for criminals, pedophiles, drug smugglers, money launderers.etc. Actually this is surprising, as the highest USD denomination ($100 banknote) is worth much less than the highest denomination banknotes of Swiss Franc and Euro (CHF 1,000 and €500 banknotes respectively).

[Heleudimitrij]

It is used but not as often as bitcoin

[iv4n]

Every currency is used for illegal activities. With money we can buy good or bad things, it depend from what kind of person someone is. American dollar is currency is most strongest in the world, big nation, many corporation and businesses are finished with dollars. So it'snot strange that dollar is used for illegal things.
People will never stop to use currencies for illegal activities. Too many people wish to be rich without work, on easy and fast way.

This is a satire thread m8, this is referencing all the threads where people concern-troll about "oh BTC is used in illegal terrorist activities" and it's not supposed to be taken literally.

Of course a government is going to try and stop illegal activities, it's not like that's anything new.
