*“*Of course, when you are talking about money, people's minds
immediately go to another recently-discussed topic on the list,
campaign finance reform and the related but separate institution of
bribery. That is a pretty good example where transactions should not
be private, but that is because it is concerning a public property -
namely, political office. “
Campaign contributions could be given in cash, which is relatively
easy to make anonymous. (Hide a bundle of money under a park bench.)
Whether the recipient is obligated to find out who gave it, and
report that is a different matter.
Well, huge sums of cash are harder to deal with than is obvious...
bitcoin, in principle, moves $1M as easily as $1
Everything I know about "large sums of cash" I learned from Breaking
Bad... so take it for what it is worth!
