I tried researching for problems about identity theft, and here's what I found informational about it:
According to Forbes:
1.
86% experienced the misuse of an existing credit card or bank account. This type of fraud is called "account takeover". - dito pa lang ay kakabahan ka na
2.
Only 4% had their personal information stolen and used to open a new account. This type of fraud is much more dangerous, and is called "identity takeover". - posible ba ito sa atin, kailangan lang ba ng I.D mo para makapag-open ng account at di na nila kailangan ang iyong
presence?

1.
One common misconception about identity theft is that it only seriously affects people who are lazy or not careful with their private information. However, that isn’t true at all. Due to the amount of people that have access to your private information at stores, doctor’s offices, and even over the phone, there are many opportunities for strangers to steal your private information without you knowing it. - sa madaling salita, hindi na nila kailangan ng I.D mo para nakawin ang iyong identity.
2.
Identity theft is not a small problem — it’s actually the fastest growing crime in America, with 9.9 million incidents per year. In 2012, seven percent of people sixteen or older were identity theft victims. Credit card, bank account, and other existing account use comprised 85 percent of the issues, but people who suffered from new accounts being opened in their name were more likely to suffer from serious financial, credit, or emotional distress. - Oo, hindi ito basta maliit lang na problema, gaya nga ng tanong ko sa #2 sa taas, posible ba ito dito satin?

"identity theft or identity takeover" ay sadyang nakakabahala, at ayon sa kanila, ang stolen identity ay ginagamit upang nakawin ang iyong pera.
Ang hindi kasi alam ng karamihan, ang KYC ay katumbas din ng AML (Anti Money Laundering).
Anti money laundering (AML) refers to a set of procedures, laws and regulations designed to stop the practice of generating income through illegal actions. Though anti-money-laundering laws cover a relatively limited number of transactions and criminal behaviors, their implications are far-reaching. Source:
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/aml.aspSa sarili kong opinyon, ang dapat lang kabahan sa KYC ay ang mga taong walang I.D (Passport ang mas hinihingi nila) at ang mga taong sumasali sa bounty campaign na may mga multi-accounts.
Tanong ko nanlng OP,
why would you want to be anonymous?
