Or if you have enough money to by pass the laws all together.

Take a look at HSBC[1][2]....they got caught laundering money for Mexican cartel and helped NK/Iran circumvent the nuclear sanctions. They were given a slap on the wrist of 2 billion dollars in fines. (Can't find the source but they were also caught transferring money to known terrorist groups)

If anyone is interested there is a Netflix show they covers this. I think it's called Dirty Money. [3]

Okay but they were still caught and fined. That doesn't negate my point, nor is a sample size of 1 anything to write home about.
