What good does it do to launder puppy killers' money? See: Sacklers.

And taking Sackler money for some charitable cause will do a lot more good than them piling it up. Take some Sackler millions and you can feed a million hungry people, cure cancer, or expand our knowledge of the past.
The person turning it down gets to brag on Twitter about turning it down.

At best you can feed a million people for a day (you certainly won't be curing cancer) but you will launder their reputation in the process. These kinds of charitable causes allow for people like the Sacklers to get the attention they crave from their fellow high society despite the awful things they have done, just because they flash their wallets around at a few galas. As long as nothing requires them to change their behavior, they won't.
