gift card laundering
The act of using a gift card to purchase another gift card of equal or slightly greater value in order to hide the fact that you're just regifting the original gift card.
After I do some gift card laundering at the mall today, these gift cards I got last Christmas will be squeaky clean and ready for regifting. No one will ever catch on to my operation - muhahaHAHA!

reputational laundering
Reputational laundering - the act of appearing to do good publicly in order to offset a negative image. A technique usually employed by individuals or corporations who have made their money in a morally questionable fashion and who wish to appear to have a moral conscience.
Reputational laundering often comes in the form of Corporate Social Responsibility, where a relatively trivial sum of profits are donated by the corporation to fund socially oriented activities in order to suggest that the corporation is socially responsible.
An example, often sited, would be major oil companies giving charitable funds to communities in the Nigeria Delta whose original livelihoods they were implicit in destroying through the extraction of crude oil.
However the practice of reputational laundering is by no means exclusive to corporations. Many morally bankrupt individuals donate money to charity in order that they are seen to care about social or environmental issues. As an added benefit to their undeservedly improved public image they also enjoy significant tax breaks on their donations.

Given that it has just paid record fines for insider trading, PJ Gorman’s effort to support a youth programme in the inner city is little more than reputational laundering.

lasering the target
Target: "I don't know if I should go home with him."
Wingman: "He's a great guy, but he's kind of awkward at first....and he loves puppies and children as he volunteers every weekend at a puppy rescue and orphan center."
Target: "Tell me more."
Next morning -
You: "Dude, I wouldn't have brought her home if you weren't lasering the target."
