D. Loss of tax revenue. Think about it - all that dirty money that's not getting seized and taxed? The government's going to be hurting for cash. They might as well just start a GoFundMe page at this point.

I'm going with C. Reputation risk for the port is a huge deal. No one's going to want to do business with a country that's seen as a haven for money laundering. Might as well put up a big neon sign saying Tax Evasion Welcome Here!

A: I think B is the biggest issue. Organized crime and corruption can really destabilize a country.

I agree with Precious. Without strong predicate offenses and prosecution of AML cases, organized crime and corruption can thrive.

Option B is definitely the correct answer. Lack of AML prosecution will only embolden organized crime and corruption. The country is basically an open invitation for the mafia to come in and take over.
