Tor donor FAQ gives advice that may be illegal
The Tor donor FAQ could be seen to suggest breaking up payments to avoid being identified to IRS/governments/tax authorities. Could this be considered potentially against the law in some jurisdictions as per structuring laws? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structuring#Definition
Item 23 of https://donate.torproject.org/donor-faq quoted below.
Is the Tor Project required to identify me as a donor to the United States government, or to any other authority?
If you donate $5,000 or more to the Tor Project in a single year, we are required to report the donation amount and your name and address (if we have it) to the IRS, on Schedule B of the Form 990, which is filed annually. However, it's normal for nonprofits to redact individual donor information from the copy of the 990 that's made publicly-available, and that's what we do. We are not required to identify donors to any other organization or authority, and we do not. (Also, if you wanted, you could give us $4,999 in late 2018 and $4,999 in early 2019.)
Emphasis added.
Perhaps the last line in parenthesis could be left unsaid?
