All I will say about this matter is that any reasonably intelligent criminal oganisation will morph into other entities when the spotlight is shined too bright on their activities.
I believe this may be the case with 1%ers, this legislation was passed to make it easy for the law enforcers to break up these groups.
IMO it will do very little to curb the illicit activities, just a bump in the road.

I agree with your comments, that will always be the  case with law enforcement, law makers bring in new deterrent, law breakers come up with a new plan, such is the dance they dance. However if the lawmakers gave up making things a little more difficult I suspect all hell would break loose.

Of course law makers can go to extremes
