I believe Trump and friends have been reading The Idiot's Guide to Money Laundering

Smurfing, structuring, offshoring, Delaware shell corporations, sham real estate transactions. Between Trump, Manafort, Cohen, Kushner, Gates and Flynn, they've managed to hit them all. It's such basic stuff. It worked before Trump brought the magnifying glass of public exposure to their scams. They just didn't work hard enough to cover their tracks. In the end it will all look like pretty amateur stuff. Law schools are going to teach Financial Crimes 101 and these guys will provide a complete curriculum. The most embarrassing thing will be that they were so bad at it.

that they were so bad at it, and yet went unpunished by law for so long that they were actually able to steal the presidency before anybody noticed or did anything about it. THAT, more than anything is a condemnation of America and how we treat white collar crime.
