If the incomes were high enough for a living during 20 years, how did he launder all that money for so long?

Just curious, any idea?

Sounds like he may not have laundered it, just took the risk. As far as I know, there's not much proactive work in the US to ferret out illicit income on its own. It's typically some other activity that manually prompts a look into your finances.

There is no reason he would have to launder it at all, it's not dirty money (it's not illegal to sell items in video games, but often against the ToS). He could easily pay taxes on it as business income. Nobody knew he got it illegitimately.

Yes, but business for doing what?

At least now you know who stole your house in UO.
