U.S. Terror-Finance Rules Drive Money Underground

[Hayek's plosive]

U.S. banks have closed thousands of accounts held by people and organizations considered suspicious, high-risk or difficult to monitor--including money-transfer firms, foreign banks and nonprofits working abroad. Closing accounts for fear their customers may be up to no good evicts from the financial system the innocent as well as those the U.S. government would most like to watch, a consequence not anticipated by Washington.

Many banks now shun anyone who looks risky, fearing steep financial penalties for failing to spot a wayward customer. That leaves many people to seek alternatives--such as toting bags of cash overseas--allowing hundreds of millions of dollars to vanish from the global banking system into an opaque financial network linked with terror hot spots. 

Des génies.

Ils ont vraiment cru que la conséquence allait être "Oh zut ! Je ne peux plus utiliser ma CB car mon compte a été clôturé. Je vais devoir arrêter mes activités terroristes..."

Ou il y a une raison cachée ?

c'est un raisonnement strategique en deux ou trois mouvements, incluant le concept de mouvements d'argent.C'est beaucoup trop complexe pour une administration.

La moitie des regulations mises en place servent a endiguer les effets pervers introduits par l'autre moitie.
