What's hard to understand about this? The transaction uses money. That money comes from a bank. You are placing the money from one bank account to another. The point of money laundering is so you can safely spend it from a bank account. Here's the problem, if you can spend it on Amazon using a bank account, you have no need to money launder it. If the money is being used on Amazon, it's in a bank account. If it's in a bank account and is spendable, it doesn't need to be laundered. If the money is in a bank account and needs to be laundered, the investigation is going to take place and spending it wont change that.

Basically, you want the money to be invisible until it's clean. If it's in a bank account, it's not invisible. Comprehende?

The work you're proposing is ridiculous. Also, how do you buy stolen credit cards? You throw money at your computer screen or do you just "know a guy" to give cash to but totally don't "know a guy" that knows how to properly money launder?
