I doubt money laundering related charges themselves are the sole reason criminals are hesitant to spend their proceeds out in the open. Doing so would still lead to suspicion and possible investigations for the underlying criminal activity. Therefore, making money laundering related activity legal probably isn't going to accomplish what you want, and after seeing the decades of crime paying off for Paul Manafort, I'm of the opinion that we are in dire need of a serious crackdown on white collar crime, not a relaxation.
