The term "money laundering" is itself a relatively recent term (e.g. no money laundering mentioned in 18th century literature). Like "obstruction of justice," money laundering victimizes the state law enforcement apparatus. It's an invention of a self-preserving bureaucracy.
That the state can be "victim" of a crime is itself an absurdity. The mark of an overgrown institution more so than a true matter of morality.
