Money laundering involves taking money earned through illegal means and structuring recorded financial transactions to make it appear to have been legally earned.
Historically, people have thought of money laundering as transactions in bank accounts used by drug dealers to hide earnings from the sale of illegal drugs. But there are many other ways to accomplish the goal of money laundering. Businesses sometimes function as facades, hiding the true source of money that circulates through the business. With the Internet, where so many financial transactions are completely electronic and no cash changes hands, organized crime has been able to take money laundering to new levels. Funds are directed where kingpins want the money to go through business channels that allow for efficient money laundering.
Indeed, the definition of money laundering has expanded to include an extremely broad range of financial dealings involving money earned illegally, processed through bank accounts or converted to any desired form of exchange. It is not only drug dealers and prostitution ringleaders who are implicated in money laundering allegations. Financial managers who embezzle funds from businesses often concoct money laundering schemes by creating fictional customer accounts.
