Never trust any politician 🖕

From the article:

"The Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) announced that the threshold for currency transaction reports has been lowered from $10,000 to $200 for Americans living in 30 zip codes in California and Texas. Financial surveillance in the United States has long needed reform, but this move is in the wrong direction.

FinCEN officially announced the temporary policy change as an effort “to further combat the illicit activities and money laundering of Mexico-based cartels and other criminal actors along the southwest border of the United States.”

$200?!

Because SURELY there's no legitimate reason why someone would need to transfer $200 in CA or TX, must be cartel activity.

surely

no doubt just a temporary rule...

probably nothing

Never let a crisis go to waste… justifying infringing on the people’s rights after funding the problem in the first place.

Humans can’t trust humans. That’s why we verify 🧡
