Liberty Reserve also is a completely
irrevocable payment system and digital
currency. The fact that the transactions
are irrevocable, meaning that they
cannot be reversed or refunded in the
event of fraud, makes it a highly
desirable system for criminal use and a
highly problematic one for any
legitimate payment functions.
Revocability protects merchants and
users from fraud and is a common
feature of legitimate payment systems.
Despite the security precautions that
make it secure for illicit use, funds
reportedly have been stolen from user
accounts, making it even less attractive
to any potential licit users. The
company has been unresponsive to
these customer complaints.
III. The Extent to Which Liberty
Reserve Is Used for Legitimate Business
Purposes in Costa Rica
FinCEN has found no evidence that
Liberty Reserve is used in Costa Rica for
any business purpose, legitimate or
otherwise. Costa Rican customers have
no direct access to Liberty Reserve’s
offices. The only access to the business,
anywhere in the world, is through its
Web site. As noted above, Liberty
Reserve appears to have chosen to locate
itself in Costa Rica because Costa Rica
is commonly known to have inadequate
regulation of MSBs and internet
businesses, and because the location
allowed the company to avoid U.S.
authorities because Costa Rica does not
have a mutual legal assistance treaty
with the United States.

IV. The Extent to Which This Action Is
Sufficient To Guard Against
International Money Laundering and
Other Financial Crimes
FinCEN’s finding that Liberty Reserve
is an institution of primary money
laundering concern will guard against
the international money laundering and
other financial crimes described above
directly by restricting the ability of
Liberty Reserve to access the U.S.
financial system to process transactions,
and indirectly by public notification to
the international financial community
of the risks posed by dealing with
Liberty Reserve.
