Anti-money laundering (AML) refers to a set of laws, regulations, and procedures that financial institutions and other entities are required to follow in order to detect and prevent the illegal practice of money laundering. Money laundering is the process by which individuals or organizations hide the origins of illicitly obtained funds by making them appear to come from legitimate sources. The goal of AML efforts is to deter and detect money laundering activities and prevent criminals from benefiting from their illegal gains.

The stages of money laundering are placement, layering, and integration.
Money laundering is the process of concealing the origins of illegally obtained money. It is a three-step process: 1: Placement: The first step is introducing illegal money into the financial system. This can be done by depositing it into bank accounts, buying assets, or investing it in businesses. 2: Layering: The second step is to mix illegal money with legitimate money. This can be done by making a series of complex financial transactions. The goal of layering is to make it difficult to trace the illegal money back to its source. 3: Integration: The third step is to integrate illegal money into the economy. This can be done by using it to buy goods and services, invest in businesses, or donate to charities.
I'll start with money laundering is illegal so this is NOT an endorsement that you should do it. The reason people launder money is to make money earned from illegal activities (e.g. drugs, casinos) appear to be earned from legal ventures. At a small scale, it's unlikely the IRS or financial institutions will ask where the money comes from; however, larger organized crime rings have a lot of money earned from potentially illegal activities which can't go into banks with them asking questions and/or reporting the size of the transactions to the IRS. By 'laundering' the money thru a legitimate enterprise, it allows them to put the money in a bank and use it without questions asked of where it came from.
The Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-570) is an act of Congress that made money laundering a federal crime.
