You used to be able to do this at HSBC, and for a very long time, before all these annoying KYC laws

And frankly any bank that wants to do business with/in the US/EU, or wants to process bankcards. If you want to launder money there are people for that, they will take your money, set uou5 up with legitimate businesses, put your money into other businesses and over some time those businesses will order a ton of shit from your ones, so you'll end up with a lot of clear after-tax income.
