Something that I haven't seen mentioned in discussions about NFTs (not that I've followed many) is their potential for facilitating money laundering.

It looks like they would provide a value similar to that of certain auction houses where large amounts of suspicious money are regularly transferred in the name of subjectively perceived value [1]. Is there something that I am missing, or could this be a tacitly sought-after (if illegal) potential use of NFTs?
