You’re a drug dealer. I work in a bank. You have money to launder. What do you do? Bring it to me. I deposit the cash into the account of a dummy finance company. Now, I issue you a cashier’s check in his name, minus a small commission for myself, okay? You return it to me as collateral on a loan l make to you. But you don’t pay back the loan. You keep the money. That’s it! Don’t you get it? It’s your money. You don’t pay it back, it’s yours. And it’s clean. It is now laundered. You cops aren’t too bright. This is the best part: You take a tax deduction on interest payments you don’t even make!
