Intermarriage Money Laundering

This is when the wife writes a $20,000.00 check from the joint account as a deposit for a very large purchase, requests it back made payable to her, deposits the funds into her personal account and then pays the full amount of the purchase on the joint credit card to earn miles for her upcoming trip to New York with the girls...

My use of intermarriage money laundering is how I was able to buy my Birkin bag.

quote 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.

money laundering

Something you unfortunately cannot learn to do by looking it up in a dictionary.

If you've come here to, just turn yourself over to the police and tell them where you got all the money. It's probably for the better.

I got it, we'll just launder the money! My junkie cousin used to do money laundering all the time.

Don't forget to empty your pockets—you don't want to get arrested for money laundering.

quote-laundering

The act of citing a source to support a hypothesis and burying the reference in a footnote or endnote that, once investigated, turns out to be irrelevant, spurious or entirely fictitious.

Similar to quote-stuffing, a common practice in academic paper-writing, but not to be confused with quote mining.

I was trying to track down that juicy reference that Malcolm Gladwell dropped about what Nietzsche said about cell phones but it turned out to be total quote-laundering.
