= Financial crime preventive measures
Crazy shady crypto people seem to like <Ciro Santilli>, so this is in order.
For the love of God do dot give us proceeds of crime.
Giving to <Ciro Santilli> is the worst possible way to launder your money, as donations amounts are clearly publicly disclosed (though not donor identities if they with to remain anonymous), and clear records kept of every donation made (including private note of donor identities if known). Also suspicious donations are promptly reported to the authorities.
Donation refunds upon donor's requests are only made at our discretion, and may be declined, unless required by law of course. This is to reduce the risks of us unknowingly serving as money mules or aiding money laundering.
<Ciro Santilli> believes that he is not require to report large donations to either:
* charities have to report anonymous donations of £25,000 or more as "serious incident", but Ciro Santilli does not have a registered charity: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/how-to-report-a-serious-incident-in-your-charity[], related: https://docs.ourbigbook.com/project-governance
* dealers selling goods over 10,000 euros for cash must make a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) https://www.gov.uk/guidance/money-laundering-regulations-high-value-dealer-registration[]. However <Ciro Santilli> does not sell any goods, only provides services, and services are excluded from the report requirements
But note that Ciro will preventively report if there are any further suspicious aspects to any donations received.
