Ok, I think I understand - that you mean some more general money laundering of bitcoin? where source of the money need not be known, because behavior shows that it just has to be money laundering. Tx!

How exactly does the laundering happen in this scheme? Isn't the money just being sent to Humble, never to return to the person who sent it?

shouldn't/couldn't the publisher who own the key then just deactivate the key if the source of the money is found to be a laundered source?

The flow of money doesn't terminate at Humble.

Wouldn't Humble need to be in on the laundering then? Or are the launderers able to be in cahoots with the publisher of games?
