After watching Ozark with Justin Bateman, I was shocked with the implication of large scale money laundering in Wall Street and casinos. I don't know how much of that plot is based on real life, but it would not surprise if it was a close match. I saw an article on Steemit a few weeks ago talking about how the DOJ and others are figuring out how to read the blockchain and track the movement of money there. That seems to have made the blockchain less than appealing to people who really want to hide their money. Hopefully, the authorities can get this sorted out. I'd be surprised to see them make a determination either way. I think they like the uncertainty better.

Yeah, it seems like a terrible idea to use BTC to launder money. It's much easier to track BTC than other laundering schemes, or so I imagine.
