    Are you talking about this quote (emphasis added):

    PayPal couldn’t have started in a post-Patriot Act world. We would have been accused of money laundering.

    because, if so, I think you have misrepresented it quite badly.

      Keep in mind this company literally put hits out on people and try to fucking stalk and kill them. It would be shocking if they were not laundering money.

          Is it?

          If the accusation was false would DOJ even being charges? I’m taking about when it was run by competent people, not right now.

          Also, since when those people cared about legality? They are infamous for doing highly illegal shit then using loopholes in law and believes to politicians to get away from trouble.

            I meant “they were laundering money” is a far cry from “they were just laundering money”.
