You'll notice the cost of money transfers using this private system are well below international bank wires. If governments want to reduce/eliminate this "illicit" competition they should fully underwrite the cost of international wires below a certain threshold (say $10,000).
For some, cost of transfer is a secondary consideration to secrecy, and possibly sufficient to keep a significant underground network active. Peace. -- Karsten M.
