Here's a scenario in which one would want to launder money:

I've just robbed a bank. I took $10,000. But that $10,000 can't just appear in my bank account, can it? It wouldn't make any sense, and the police would find out I'd robbed the bank. So, I launder the money. I give it to my rich grandpa, and grandpa gives it to me as a "Christmas present." Now I have the money, and the way I got it makes sense, so the police suspect nothing. And that is why people launder money.

You have to look for money laundering links in your live feed. once you see one, click it. the popup says launder money or quit. if You click quit, you will be able to launder money 5 times before the feds are after you about every 3 times you click a money laundering link from your live feed you get a money laundering item the bra is not especially seldom so after a few days you should've gotten it So.. to get the bra as fast as possible, just keep an eye on your live feed and click all the money laundering links. but remember to click quit on all of them (except the fifth, where the fed will get after you no matter what, so why not launder some money anyway) when the fed are after you, you'll have to wait approx. 24 hrs to start over again
