Money laundering in practical terms means whatever the government wants it to mean. It has been successfully prosecuted as the simple deposit of funds the government doesn't like the origins of. The obstacle isn't law, it's the resources required to bring a successful case.

I think this is understated in this thread.

In order to have effective governance on any level, you need people to "buy" into it willingly. It will only become easier for those who want to opt out of such despite the assumed risks of doing so.

The resources [human, capital] are only getting more expensive for governance systems to use to effectively go after such on any meaningful level.
