    I wonder if they will look into the trillions stolen and laundered by the US “government”? ($10 Trillion Missing From Pentagon: https://anonhq.com/10-trillion-missing-pentagon-no-one-knows-including-dod/)

    “justice.gov” 😆 … the state is a giant clown show 🤡

    “facilitated more than $100 million in money laundering transactions from illegal dark web markets.”

    I am sure they have identified all the victims of these transactions. Major US banks facilitate $100 million in the fake crime known as “money laundering” about each hour.

    Samourai overall facilitated around $2 billion in "unlawful transactions” between 2015 and the present, the release alleged.

    "unlawful transactions” = arbitrary designations made up by the biggest criminals in the world

    The real money laundering terrorists:

    Good. All these mixing services have no purpose for existing beyond laundering ill-gotten gains.

      Compared to the communist scumbags running the US stealing and laundering trillions this mixing service laundered basically nothing. Total waste of money and time.

          Yes, America has been infiltrated by communists decades ago. Their first step was to implement a central bank, followed by many other subversive initiatives.

          Watch this presentation to learn what has happened.

            I don’t think you know what communism is.

            If America was communist, then they’d have free housing and excellent health care. There are some countries in America that are communist, such as Cuba, that do have excellent healthcare.

              Because communism is known for it’s abundance of housing and excelent healthcare? Communism is the biggest threat to mankind. It’s a pipe dream that already killed over a hundred million humans! Not a price I’m willing to pay for free housing and great healthcare (which it CANNOT deliver).

                There is no such thing as free. This instance is a light in the darkness of Lemmy when it comes to issues like this. Keep it up in here everyone who contributes. Long live Monero.

              Lol you’re the one who doesn’t know what communism is. You get free housing alright, in a vermiculite mine in Siberia. Go ask these Cubans what they think of their government. Not just the ones in Miami, any of them. Go anywhere in the world where Cubans live and ask any random Cuban what they think of their government. I’ve met a lot of them, I have yet to meet a single one that likes the system they live under.

              You’re willfully delusional because you fetishize a pet ideology and your worldview doesn’t represent reality. You’re authoritarian statist scum masquerading as a weeping altruist.
