It all depends.
And I say that without in any way accepting your term "money
laundering," since I received a legal opinion, on which I depended,
that there was no "money laundering."
And now that I've answered your question, I have one for you.

Armstrong signed an agreement with the Church of Scientology,
for which he agreed not to talk about Scientology in public in
exchange for $850,000. Gerry hid the money, spoke out against
Scientology in public, and was sued for breach of contract by the
CoS.
That has
nothing to do with free speech. Gerry Armstrong signed
that contract knowing full well what he was doing. He changed his
mind, but rather than being honest and handing the money back
to the Church of Scientology, he hid it.
I
doubt
if there is any European country which permits individuals
to break a formal agreement without facing consequences.

You are, naturally, lying.
It's a lie that I "changed my mind."
It's a lie that I signed an agreement to not talk about the cult in
public in exchange for $850,000.
It's a stupidity to say that you doubt that there is any European
country which permits individuals to break a formal agreement without
facing consequences. It's the content, and the conditions at the time
of signing, not the formalness (whatever that is) of the "agreement,
"
which will determine its judicial enforceability.
But the lie I want to question you about is your lie that I "
hid the
money." You repeat this lie when you state that "rather than
being
honest and handing the money back" to the cult, I "hid it."
This is actually a good example -- since the subject was being
discussed here a while back -- of libel.
So my question to you is: what evidence of any kind do you have to
support your lie that I hid any of the money the Scientology cult paid
me in settlement to dismiss my case against them?
Thank you.
