Breaking Bad was probably where I really understood it best.

They actually show that clip in law school to explain money laundering.

I once went to a salon that obviously only existed for money laundering. Pretty big space with multiple chairs but only one woman working there (and her dog) and no clients. Open at odd hours. Clearly not making enough money to stay open but it did.

This is a fairly regular occurrence as the family drops off their daughter at the Montessori around the corner about the time I'm getting coffee, but nonetheless I get a big dopamine hit every time I see his wiggly doodle dog self.

I think most big city neighborhoods have at least one of these. Where I used to live in Brooklyn it was a Mexican restaurant that everyone knew not to go into for food.
