Do you even know what the fook you're on about? Money laundering has nothing to do with KEEPING the money in a bank, its about passing it THROUGH the banking system in a way that makes is criminal origins untraceable!
30 years back money was worth more than it is now as you can agree
£2k in 2 weeks was going to tempt even the most devout of friends into skimming a few quid off the top so the money went into several different bank accounts
when it needed to be used to buy soemthing legitamate, several sources of smaller amounts of money from differing accounts but all from the same family name raised no suspisions whereas a lot of money going in and out of one account raised more than a few eyebrows (including the managers who promtly called the police a few weeks later)
so the clever lot got away, the greedy twat got the blame, justice for all
or was this a different sort of laundrette you were thinking of? perhaps staffed by dot cotten and the slappers mother in the east end
