I believe it's more like: here's 1.5 million dollars that you can use to explain to the IRS how you're paying for a new house. If you give me 2 million in illicit cash, I can use that elsewhere and the IRS doesn't care because I already have 100 million dollars in assets.

Again, that won't happen, ever. The IRS is not going to just forget those 2 million, they don't care if it's "pocket change" for you or not.

Also, you are implying that somebody with 100M+ in assets is going to compromise everything to launder 2 million from some other stranger ...
