                • Great episode, gentlemen. Great discussion on mis/disinformation. Has been my thoughts on the issue for a while. I read this good article on KYC/AML and thought you might want to review. I worked at banks for a while and always had to take yearly training on it. Hate it. https://disruptives-horizons.com/p/kyc-aml-destroying-world
