Money laundering is, indeed, as deluded of a new age crime as are most other nonviolent actions made into crimes under a heavily corporatist or domineering system. It's as deserving of punishment as is the harvest and trade of plants; or as is an entrepreneur who dares to create in a world where others, for a fee, can claim total national dominion over trade in prior intellectual "inventions" (patents: one of the most top-heavy, anti-small-business systems in US government); or as are the sexual actions of consenting people. Societies that learn to solve problems -- what some people see as problems -- by using violence and the threat thereof (i.e. law) will, of course, be societies that have a propensity to engineer even the tritest of cultural aspects they want to change by using more violence.
