ok so if u didnt steel money... just invested it in bitcoin then traded for exmaple: monero or dash and sold it for a lot more is not considered money laundry? am i correct?
you can effectively make the first case proposed in this one you mentioned, i mean steal the money from a bank, buy bitcoin with those, convert them with a mixer to another altcoin, and leave all the trace back
this is money laundering but none will ever know about it because there is no trace thanks to some anonymous coins, this is the big problem the government want to fight
