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?

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?
