You may want to update your world view for the 21st century - there is no “wild west” left, every country where this matters will have financial regulations.
It's simply wrong to state every country that "matters" has KYC/AML regulations similar to those required in the US.
so again, which countries?
Many, many countries don't have KYC/AML laws as strict as the US. If you want specifics, I encourage you to look into it.
Countries like...? You must have a source or some knowledge backing that statement?
