Read the article. They used someone elses SSN so no tax. Also 70% from of $3999 from a stolen credit card ain't bad.

A stolen credit card isn't money laundering, that's just fraud.

It seems plausible in a logical, if not legal, sense... you've stolen the funds using someone's credit card and then launder that into receipts from Amazon.

I'm assuming the more general case where they are not stupid enough to use someone else's SSN, and thus guaranteeing you'll get found out.
