Actually, anonymous financial transactions are quite common. Every time you purchase something with cash, the seller receives payment with no knowledge of who you are or how you got the money.

And the definition of money laundering is hiding the source of illegally obtained money. An anonymous transaction isn't laundering if there's nothing dirty about the money in the first place.

Paying in cash involves turning up in person with cash. That's definitely not anonymous.
