      Should be. There are many reasons you may not want a transaction to be public knowledge, or even known by governmental bodies. Apart from the actual illegal/grey area stuff, there are things that can be deemed “suspicious” which are actually completely harmless.

          Guy doesn’t want the government to know about his brothel visits.
