What's not money laundering?
I tried to find a definition:
Money laundering is the illegal process of making large amounts of money generated by criminal activity, such as drug trafficking or terrorist funding, appear to have come from a legitimate source.
Money laundering is the process of concealing the origin of money, obtained from illicit activities such as drug trafficking, corruption, embezzlement or gambling, by converting it into a legitimate source.
Money laundering is the processing of these criminal proceeds to disguise their illegal origin.
An abundance of black money leads to the origin of several illegal practices, and money laundering is one such process to disguise the source of such funds.
Money laundering is the practice of making money that was gained through criminal means, such as smuggling weapons, look as if it came from a legitimate business activity.
The intention of money laundering is to make illegally obtained money appear to come from a legitimate source.
Money laundering refers to a financial transaction scheme that aims to conceal the identity, source, and destination of illicitly-obtained money.
the crime of moving money that has been obtained illegally through banks and other businesses to make it seem as if the money has been obtained legally
Those definitions all have one thing in common: the money has to come from an illicit source. Simply depositing and withdrawing doesn't mean the source was illicit, and even trying to hide your money flows from blockchain analysis doesn't mean it's money laundering.
If I'd want to launder stolen money through a casino, I'd make one large high risk bet (say x10). If I win, I can prove that 90% of my money came from being very lucky at a casino! If I lose, I move on to the next casino.
So anyone betting $100k in one bet and winning $1M could very well be laundering money! Anyone losing $100k and abandoning their account could very well have attempted to launder the money! But someone who deposits and withdraws a couple hundred bucks doesn't mean he's he's laundering the money, and even if he would try that way, it wouldn't do him any good.
I guess casinos don't investigate users who lose $100k and leave
By "what" I meant "what did op do". Seems likely that he's mostly full of shit. I believe his funds are locked, but obviously he's not telling anywhere close to the whole story. Someone who believes they're innocent doesn't create multiple threads only to share a few vague details.
