There are times when laundering money should not be a crime

Money laundering has long been associated with organized crime, and has a deservedly bad reputation. Although the exact legal definition varies among jurisdictions the idea is always the same: cleaning up money obtained from less-than-clean sources. At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are generally opposed to money laundering, but we think there should be some exceptions. If, for instance, your two-year-old dog eats US $400 you should be able to clean up what comes out the other end without legal ramifications.
