I thank the witnesses for attending. Many of the questions have already been asked at this stage but there are a couple of things I want to develop on. The first is the acknowledgement than an economic crime is being committed here in terms of extracting money from people fraudulently. The companies represented are obviously performing services on behalf of the person or organisation that is committing that crime. Is that right? Would the witnesses agree with that, that there is economic crime and that they are facilitating or enabling it? People would not be able to do it without these platforms.
