      Fair enough. The same saying often goes for sex workers.

      That’s how they ended up catching Al Capone, on tax fraud charges.

        So why does anyone launder money? Isn’t the whole purpose of that to hide conspicuous flows of cash from illegal activities? If it’s safe to pay taxes on ill gotten gains, why launder?
