Wishful thinking? | It's pushed from the FATF end - the Anti Money Laundering-Counter Terrorism Finance regulations - and from the OECD.
The Powers That Be finally got their wish - and now tax evasion is a predicate crime for Money Laundering.
Brexit won't do much to halt the progress of AML-CTF as we are FATF and OECD members. But the stupidity and gold plating from the EU Commission will continue without the UK so things might just stay as they are post Brexit in this green and pleasant land while the regulation gets ever tighter in the EU states.
Look on the bright side - if they have any sense at Brexit the UK gov will get rid of the 'cookie law' and all those little things to click - the stupidist annoyance on the Internet since Kanye West's last Tweet!
