 New US Tax Reporting Rule Requires an IRS Report for Every $10K+ Transaction

"The report must include, among other things, the name, address, and Social Security number of the person from whom the funds were received, the amount received, and the date and nature of the transaction. If you don’t file a report within 15 days of receiving the transaction, you could be found guilty of a felony offense."

 Receiving fiat is too risky, receive Bitcoin instead.

 I'd like to see a detailed report on how tracking individual transactions stops the baddies, with detailed examples, what are the negative consequences for the good guys, other externalities that result from this, and what would the trade offs be if tracking wouldn't be implemented.

Of course this will never happen, because it doesn't work to stop the baddies, its only good to keep the population in check.
