Oh right. She said former criminals, not felons. I apparently make up words!

Yeah, unfortunately, I do understand money laundering. (I do data science in the financial industry.)
Depositing illegally obtained money in a bank is not money laundering. In fact, I'm not even sure it is a crime: obtaining the money? Yes. Spending it? Nope. Stupid, sometimes, but I can't think of a way that's illegal in and of itself.
Now, ship it out of the country as cash and then try to return it in a form which doesn't look like it was obtained criminally? Yeah, now that is money laundering. Trust me, you don't want to go there.

Sooo I just need to vent. Apparently ignorance towards AIs does exist in the real world. I shared the Faye/Bubbles storyline with an online friend and he said some pretty closed minded stuff.
Jeez!
Sorry if this is against the rules to share. I'm just mad. Apparently this kind of ignorance would exist if the QC world was real.
Is it cold in here?:
I think it's interesting and relevant.
Global Moderator Comment I agree.
Is it cold in here?:

Not my field, I don't claim knowledge.
How is what Faye did (if she used her bank account) different from what Piper Kerman did?
