Get the Delayed Gratif*ckationmug. A term for Money Laundering. Coined after the infamous house majority leader, Tom DeLay, after his conviction on money laundering charges.
John realized that most of the money he made was illegal, so he didn't mind some DeLayed gratification while he moved the money around in order to hide it's source.
