If a crime is in its essence an infringement on another’s inherent rights to life, #liberty, or property, I don’t understand the basis for criminalizing intermediary things like money laundering, mail fraud, etc.

If fraud or theft occurs, those crimes should stand on their own and not need the dubious intermediary jeopardy.

Would be happy to #AskNostr and hear others offer thoughtful counterpoints on why those are important to be judicially distinct.
