  3. @robbraxmantech The real question is how do you avoid it entirely when the western world (outside the USA) requires it for everything. Everything financial requires it trading, investing, betting, banking, even closing existing accounts. There are no 'AML/KYC free thresholds' in the 'English speaking Western world' outside the USA. Buying or renting property requires it. Getting a SIM card requires it as part of SIM registration. Getting a job requires it. Google, etc. all require it - there is no way around it. Oh and its not just govt issued ID, its your finances, your credit history, your employment history, your interests, your memberships, what magazines/services you subscribe to, etc. its horribly intrusive, especially since the WEF launched ESG. You also have to do it to not be debanked or cancelled as a customer by businesses. I know farmers who've refused to do KYC - they were told that they can't purchase farm supplies (fence posts, barbed wire, animal feed, etc.) anymore as the business can't be certain that they are legit and whether they fit the businesses ESG and risk models. I know farmers who were debanked simply for being farmers because they had to do AML/KYC to keep their accounts years earlier, only for ESG to become a thing and then be considered 'outside the risk profile of the banks ESG and risk models'. Its because AML/KYC is required by the US Government (who ironically aren't part of it and not subject to it even though its their law) and is considered the 'core' of due diligence (required for everything) globally by all countries that don't want to become enemies of the USA. The only way I can think of getting around it would be to disappear, live in the middle of nowhere and work for cash or trade/barter outside the system (but that would be illegal under current laws); beyond that there's no way to avoid it. Honestly Rob, you need to create an artificial island, declare it as your own country and let those of us who want real privacy and freedom to live there. Otherwise the US needs to abolish CRS, AML & KYC.
