Money laundering is not a crime.

The actual crime happened before, like cleaning a knife full of blood is not a crime itself. 

But since law and the ones who enforces it often can't prove a crime or what they appeal as a crime, then they create new laws, word or phrases that will fit their shenanigans in order to pursue their total control goals. 

 What is or not a crime is decided by the law. So semantically, you are wrong. It is a crime.
