launderer
Professional garment washer
A launderer is someone who launders—either literally washing clothes or, more commonly in modern usage, illegally processing money to conceal its criminal origins.
The term appears most often in discussions of financial crime: The launderers moved funds through shell companies.
A money launderer specifically handles illicit cash.
