There are American citizens that legitimately believe you unlock a multimillion dollar bank account if you write a note at 45° in red marker on your bills. We need the /s because someone is always stupid enough to actually believe everything it seems.

Underlegislation leads to a bloated, extortionate upper crust that weilds disproportionate power over those who rely on said financial system. There is a balance, and the problem you outline is the lesser of the two extremes.
