I have seen articles regarding India and Sweden (who have almost gone cashless) whereby the digital wallets (precurser to full-on cbdc) have seen a huge increase in financial crime. I couldn't help thinking, at the time, they must have known this was going to happen so they can produce the solution - biometric KYC for transactions.

Of course, we are being told this will reduce crime. If you believe these tales, I have a really beautiful bridge in Brooklyn to sell you, cheap! None of this is working to reduce crime, in fact, the crime rates are rising logarithmically. It is all to control us. You will have to ask the Swedes and Indians how that is working for them. I understand that in India, when they went cashless, there were a lot of people who starved to death because they had never used a bank. Your article didn’t seem to mention that, at all.

Oh wow, that's so, so sad!! It's hardly surprising that they would not mention that!
I did send the article to a Swedish guy I know and asked if it was accurate and he said yes, that is how it is, but he has personally not been robbed by bankid - so far

I guess there is plenty of time for that to happen yet. Criminals are criminal and they do crimes and find ways to do crimes, no matter what situation they find themselves in. Did you ask him what happened to the “unbanked” people in Sweden?
