OK, I'm channeling my inner Peter, Michael and Samir here, but how exactly do you launder money by spending it on Candy Crush? Is King supposedly in on the scheme?

How would that even work? I doubt anyone is buying accounts for even a fraction of the amount spent on microtransactions.

It isn't. This is normal in mobile games.

Why tho?

It ain't exactly a dry cleaners

Money laundering is a challenge even in the more tightly regulated industry I worked in. Conversely at one of my previous employers some of our big spenders were publicly known high end rich.

At one of my former jobs, we had a tipping system where we took 15% off the top.

We stored every transaction and user in a graphDB. It was fun seeing normal flows, until you see the money laundering flows show up.

It was above my pay grade to deal with them, so I still don't know how that turned out.
