He's actually technically correct, as that is the very definition of money laundering. The difference is (assumedly) the money he's laundering wasn't obtained via illegal means.

> Money laundering is the process of making illegally-gained proceeds (i.e. "dirty money") appear legal (i.e. "clean").

Someone should let FinCEN know that their definition is incorrect: https://www.fincen.gov/history-anti-money-laundering-laws
