There's a difference in "some innocent individuals getting caught," and Executive agencies dragnetting innocent people, knowing they can't afford the suit. It's possible to still investigate suspicion and charge launderers, while preserving presumption of innocence. Perfectly? No. But there is a middle ground. This is not it. Though admittedly, the NYT is probably exaggerating for their story.this incentive has led to the creation of a law enforcement dragnet, with more than 100 multiagency task forces combing through bank reports, looking for accounts to seize.
Achieving both things is not, as I know it, possible.
