Money laundering isn't good;

Just a second, in your original post you say:

AML is bad because it makes a crime out of something which isn’t actually bad.

So which is it? You can't have it both ways.

You conveniently left out the second clause of the sentence: it’s not good; it’s neutral.

There are three moral valences: good, neutral & evil. ‘Money laundering’ is neither good nor evil, but simply neutral. The things it attempts to hide may be evil, but it itself has no moral value.

That is my whole point: criminalising it makes a crime out of something which is neither good nor evil.
