Smurf

  

Animal Kingdom! You gotta see it if you haven't. And yes, aptly, "smurf" is slang for money launderer. Seems like all the great TV series now star them. Breaking Bad's car wash was hard to beat, though.

The methods of deposit in smurfing usually relate to creating so many disparate deposits in such small amounts that regulators would have no idea how to track you down, even if these deposits created any red flags.

Note the fine use of color here as well. "Red" flags...and if you're caught smurfing, you'll end up in jail with the "blues."
