Mark my words. This will be about the extent of the outcome with AUSTRAC re APT - no fines, no punitive measures, just an undertaking to do things better. It's laughable that people are drawing correlations with CBA. And how about that article by Myriam Robin - The author of the Afterpay v AUSTRAC article that people are throwing around like the gospel of afterpay's demise. Pfttt. Any journalist loses all credibility with cringey prose like: 'AUSTRAC is the soft and cuddly cousin of Washington's blood thirsty FinCEN with Afterpay's US expansion continuing at its cracking pace. Gulp!' I'd be embarrassed writing cringey shite like that for the whole of Australia to read. WTF she even said gulp like it's some role play. She also used a '!?' which is a grammatical faux pas. Isn't she meant to be a writer?

Yep, the language showed that it was a childish opinion blog designed for clicks, not an article. Not much due diligence or sourcing, just coloured language and ego. Real journalism is a rare thing now adays.
