- get a business that operates mostly on anonymous/untraceable cash (laundromat)
- put drug money through it and pay taxes
- business use "clean" money to buy a piece of art for $1 million from a corporation owned by the criminal boss (that was bought for $1k).
Voila, clean money in the hands of the head honcho.
Pure speculation on my part, though.
