It appears the FBI knows about the argument on developers and the users of the cryptospace to be more anonymous after implementation of higher taxes and stricter regulations hehehee. They have warned that Americans should not use unregistered cryptocoin exchanges and services. However, what will they do? They will seize of their domains? This is headshaking because this will be very much a similar occurrence on the darknet where they seize 1 domain and 3 more illegal services are created. This will also make it more harmful for everyone and more advantageous for criminals.
yeah it's just a "warning" don't eat yellow snow, look both ways before you cross the street.... who needs to hear what they have to say?
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has warned Americans against using unregistered crypto money transmitting services.
Americans should avoid crypto services from firms that are not registered as Money Services Businesses (MSBs) under federal law and do not follow anti-money laundering rules, according to a Thursday statement from the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
if you're not making it a crime then don't tell me what to do.
If this proposal is approved, the US government is shooting itself in the foot because many investors and operators will find more ways to avoid taxes than comply with the law.
maybe they can find a more friendly country for rich people one that doesn't try and tax them at such a high rate. but its going to require some upfront capital to buy citizenship in some other country so you can ditch that IRS...
