That is a dangerous position to put yourself in. AML and Terrorist financing laws make everyone responsible, you generally cannot claim innocence if you take no precautions and are involved in some kind of incident.

Good luck.

No, this is akin to building a protocol. The creators of HTTP are not in trouble when someone uses the web for illegal activities.

HTTP is not intrinsically tied to finance, though. This is specifically a protocol for financial transactions, for sure it would fall under AML laws.

I’m sorry but you are mistaken. I think you should research this technology more.

Are you a finance law attorney? This is marketed as a financial protocol. Completely different than HTTP.

An RFC and source code does not constitute participation. That is dharma at this point.
