Not really. It's not like gambling and friends in high places are the only options when it comes to laundering. All you need is something that allows you to funnel small and untraceable revenue streams, while spending as few money as possible, through a business that looks legitimate from the outside. Now, obviously the tax authorities around the Globe are probably far more experienced than I am when it comes to things like this, and I don't think it's a coincidence that there's governmental resistance to cryptocurrencies; they authorities are busy trying to get rid of cash already, and cryptocurrencies are additional vectors allowing anonymous transactions.
