  I work in AML and KYC is a part of that process.

    Yeah, it’s an anti-glowie measure.

      TLA agencies would have no problem with a cover identity to “prove” who they are. Your average citizen is going to have a hard time buying a slightly used social security number that they can use to get an ID that will pass KYC laws.

        I think you misunderstood. TLAs want people to prove their identities to prevent or collect data on victimless “crimes”. I don’t think that’s a good thing, therefore I am against KYC.
