AML Regulations and Financial Freedom
summary
Panel argues that 2020 Dutch AML registration forced crypto firms into a costly gatekeeper role and created widespread derisking and financial exclusion (one activist recounts courts and banks denying accounts despite political backing). Regulators keep an FIU pipeline — FIU reporting pipeline — yet non‑custodial tools like Tornado Cash prosecution expose legal confusion: AMLD excludes non‑custodial services but general money‑laundering charges still apply, leaving developers unabled to file SARs and creating prosecution without workable compliance paths.
