The thing about rights is that they are granted by nature's god, not by the state. We could do everything in our power to selectively decide who has the right to privacy, but reality will always intervene to correct itself. Perfect money laundering has always existed. And pwrfect money laundering always will exist.

The power of Monero is that it makes our rights more accessible to us, and brings those rights to the common man rather than just to career criminals.

The moment we decide that criminals don't have the right to privacy is the moment we will all be classified as criminals, and the moment we introduce a gatekeeper entity is the moment that entity becomes the new government. Once we do that, we are once again widening the gap between what the common man is able to get away with, and what elite criminals are able to get away with.

The ones with the right to prevent crime are the victims of that crime. Every other attempt to counteract crime is just coping.
