It'd probably be easier to just withdraw a small monthly amount (<500$) to pay for bills and such. I'd be a good way to pay for non-essential things, maybe even rent.

If you're small-scale then this works. I imagine big wallets are being tracked by governments, you probably don't want to create a log that can be traced to you.

Ultimately, big-scale heists will always need money laundering.

Laundering on a blockchain should be fairly simple (Monero or ZCash can be used to filter the money).
