  value: It combines authoritative sourcing (official .gov domain), precise legal citation, and threat-laden language ('illicit finance', 'national security') to make enforcement feel inevitable and unassailable — while sidestepping any discussion of implementation friction, AI system dependencies, or stakeholder readiness, creating a gap between regulatory action and real-world technical execution.
