Blockchain technology and money laundering presents the following source proposition: a distributed book of records technologies, on which the blockchain and its most important exponent - the Bitcoin - rests. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Delaware's 2017 amendment to the Delaware General Corporation Law recognizing distributed electronic networks or databases as a valid means of creating and maintaining corporate records, including the stock ledger, is the leading state law accommodation of blockchain. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
