Come on, what percentage of banking activity is money laundering, and what percentage of NFTs sold is money laundering? I think there is an order of magnitude, order of magnitude difference.

that is the wrong comparison IMHO. if you are talking about money laundering using NFT's as in pics of cartoon monkeys (an NFT is just a digital deed, the monkey pic is actually an extension), you should be comparing them to money laundering using art.
