it can be seen as laundering if it is a product or service called Bitcoin or Lifecoin and therefore it is no longer money laundering because Bitcoin is not Dollar. Bitcoin is money but it is like not real according to the government or maybe kind of like before more so. And if Bitcoin can be mocked, then it should not also be rewarded a laundering trophy at the same time.
Because the fact that Bitcoin can be a way to launder Dollars would maybe prove that it is a threat to the dollar like a competitor........ but it seems they are too jealous of the Bitcoin.
