a) At some point you have to re-enter the traditional banking system. People after all want to do things with their laundered money like buy yachts, cars, companies, football teams etc. And so if you are sophisticated at money laundering then crypto is largely unnecessary.

b) Traditional financial system is 1000s of times bigger than crypto so of course you will see proportionally more money laundering happening there.
