Let's throw some crypto in there. What could go wrong? And let's let- What could go wrong? More and more. And yeah, let's let normal people get involved. What could go wrong? Mm-hmm. So you've already got a place where we have lots of dirty money flowing around. We don't actually know how much because we have more secrecy rules than about 90 different countries in the world.

The standard is not anonymous shell companies, for example. The United States, on January 1, 2021, passed the Corporate Transparency Act as part of the National Defense Authorization Act. They did have to override Trump's veto for it, not because of the corporate transparency act.

um that ended this anonymous disability to anonymous shell companies so if you have anonymous shell companies we have anonymous trust we have all sorts of anonymity that we treat as basically the getaway car for all sorts of illicit money coming by with the united states but if you think of a society with so much dirty money coming in into its politics into its economic sectors into we've often focused on federal government but state and local governments are particularly susceptible to corruption

And what that does to your larger country, what it does to your democracy. So we were already the easiest place to launder money. And we basically put out a giant welcome sign that says, bring it here, bring it on. And here's if you have five million dollars, you can buy some citizenship, too.

So states don't get evaluated the same way as countries do. This is one of the issues for the United States. We're such a big country, and we kind of have 50-plus, you know, we've got D.C. and Puerto Rico and all that, different polities, different local governments, different civil societies.

So, you know, when we think of what place is the most corrupt in the world or whatever, there's the corruption barometer that Transparency National does. There's the Corruption Perceptions Index. There's the World Bank Governance Index. There's all these indexes, but none of those are states. Right. There's only been a couple attempts to even look at how corrupt states are.

And there's a lot of issues in even trying to measure a couple of different ones. One of them looked at what were some of the worst states when it came to their actual laws. For those who live in Virginia, it actually comes out as one of the worst ones because they have some of the worst laws in the United States.
