The term "money laundering" for US prosecutors seems to be very liberal and a device used to "capture all" and be justification in this instance to possibly aid with formulating a cause for extradition proceedings. If this is the case, chances are a judge will not accept an extradition application unless this is well-proven and of substance. But.. who knows? Anything is possible...
They always add in catchy charges in these kinds of busts.. Like money laundering or racketeering and fraud. Makes it easy for the typical person to think they were up to no good and running a scam.
