There will always something that is claimed criminals are making money from

So if somebody claims it, it must be accepted as true?

And the issue is not making ANY money, but making the kind of profit margins that magnify the ability to commit real rights-violating crimes. As a rule, such profit margins are provided only by laws against victimless "crimes" - because victims and their loved ones avoid or resist the crime beforehand, and cooperate with law enforcement and prosecution afterward.

so any law that restricts them must be removed, right?

If the act violates no unwilling individuals' rights, and the law channels into criminal hands the kind of profit margins that magnify their ability to commit real rights-violating crimes, then the law should be removed.
