    Laundering money isn’t a get rich quick scheme.

    You start with cash and end up with less cash, the launderer ends up with that “less” part.

    Trump doesn’t have cash. He was doing the laundering.

      I think they mean until Russia figures out how to loan Trump the money without the regulators figuring it out.

      These days it seems to be about selling things that don’t have an inherent price, like artwork (or sneakers). I throw some paint at a canvas and put it up for sale for $1M. Someone buys it, but we have an understanding that I’ll do sometime for them, and if I don’t I’ll have to buy special pants for the rest of my life.
