This is what I had in mind; good old CFAA. Ditto for entering false info in moneygram. (Not commenting on whether these things

Is laundering legal money and then using it for legal purposes illegal?

If the money was obtained legally to begin with, concealing the source is not illegal.

If the laundering method is illegal, then yes.
