I'm re-watching the entire series for perhaps the fourth time. And it hit me: money laundering is only dealt with twice despite happening at least four times.
The entire "car wash saga", stretched out over many episodes, embraces one of the major elements of the story: laundering all that money. Earlier, a casino was willing to forge a statement showing that Walt had "won" some of his early money. But a huge chunk of the show dealt with Schulyer and the Car Wash.
Upon re-watching, I realized that when Jesse wants to buy his parents' house, he simply gives Saul $400,000 in cash. Soon afterwards, Saul says he can have the money "wired this very afternoon" to close the deal. How did he get $400,000 in cash deposited so quickly and easily?
Next: in the finale, Walt expects the Schwartz couple to take millions in cash and convert it into a trust account. Of course, they are wealthy, so they have access to good lawyers. But nevertheless, depositing 10 million dollars in cash into a bank account can't possibly be easy.
All this fuss over the car wash, and yet, HUGE SUMS of cash mysteriously get laundered without a mention.
Am I wrong?
