(n.) Similar to the act of "money laundering" whereas the process consists of hiding money and also making more money through a sometimes concealed entity. Conversely, "skank laundering" is the process of hiding the source of skanking by processing it through another entity such as "hanging with the bros" or "working" and then continuously banging new filthy skanks while avoiding suspicion from significant others or fagot social media.
Tony: "So I been skanking down the shore in Belmar all summer bro, fuck that facebook shit, girls catch on and alert other skanks.

Truth Laundering. Just like Money Laundering but with the truth. When the search to find the truth requires following so many different leads and sources that the real truth will never actually be found.
There are so many sources of misinformation on the way to really find the truth, this is pure Truth Laundering!

The process by which a counterfeit quotation or news item eventually gets picked up by multiple news sources, which cite one another but never lead back to a verifiable source (because there isn't one). The quote's appearance on multiple forums and news aggregators lends it credibility because it is viewed as "reported" by multiple outlets.
Laundered quotes can originate from satire that is not recognized as satire, but more frequently from an Internet writer who is paraphrasing or outright fabricating.

No matter how many places you see it mentioned, the starlet never actually Tweeted that "Scientology is an abusive cult." A comedian said this while doing an impression of her, and then quote laundering took over.
