Out of the cited 55 million transactions it is likely that only a few million were legitimate honest uses of LR.

Yes I used to exchange back in the day, I know the ponzis and carders were 90% of the problems...id guess that 50% of the users are breaking the law in one way or another...ponzis are strait out gambling I do not consider them frauds, anybody who signs up for 20% per hour is an idiot period
but LR is also popular, or was popular, with 3rd world people like me, we have no access to paypal, most payment processors wont touch us simply because of location, "high-risk" processors are mostly scammy, and even local laws prevent us from doing any sort of out of country-banking or business, as things are not hard enough already...
technically speaking most 3rd world users are breaking some law but not with intent to launder money or commit a crime but to simply exercise their basic human right to make a living regardless of 1st world banking regulations and monopoly...
I agree most of the VOLUME was from ponzis and carders...file lockers are new so they should also play a role nowadays...LR was really a more decent act a few years back...
oh well...
