Lots of people in Bitcoin hate KYC and AML laws, and consider them invasive. I am one of these people.

In itself, it's not an indicator of wrongdoing.



Hating KYC/AML law may not be a strong indicator of legal wrongdoing; breaking it, OTOH, is not merely an indicator of legal wrongdoing, but is itself such wrongdoing.


Breaking the law is an indicator of criminal behavior, whether you like the law or not.


Yes it is. The laws were legitimately passed; agree or not, citizens have a duty to follow them, or else protest them directly if they find them onerous enough.


Except potentially breaking the law.


I don't know what you're getting at here? We're not discussing wrongdoings, but violations of the law.

BTC-e was operating illegally for a very long time and everyone knew this.

If your dislike of KYC and AML laws led you to believe that BTC-e was on solid legal ground, then you're simply stupid.
