Reply to comment by Belzeturtle in Eli5: Why are matress and laundromat stores often used for laundering money by Jojojoost010

It doesn't have to be a smoking gun - it just has to be odd enough to get noticed, which will prompt a deeper dive into the finances, which is the last thing you want.

The average laundromat has margins in the 25% range - if your margins are higher, that is going to draw some curiosity. If you run your machines more and your water usage is much higher than comparables, that is going to draw curiosity too.
