You set up a business that requires no inventory. Pool hall, carnival ride, arcade, ect. However many people come in just add some zeros. No inventory to purchase (which would yield a traceable indication of sales volume) so no way for govt to track actual sales.
“Yes mr taxman, 10000 kids came in this week and spent 100 each.” Boom $1000000 reported, taxed and now clean.

You’ll get caught. By your bank. Chances are your bank has legit businesses of those types as customers already. As such, if your similar businesses are bringing in significantly more money than your competitors then you’ll raise all sorts of red flags at your bank who will them report you.

I think your best bet is to grease the pockets of shady politicians. They will likely provide cover to you and let you in on the ways of other criminals who are also laundering money. As long as the policitians are getting their beaks wet, they’ll make sure you are in the right direction.
Also using debt as a guise is also a good strategy (like someone mentioned with real estate). If you can run some legitimate businesses, show that they perform well by padding transactions (or fake transactions) then borrowing against the businesses to purchase more assets. If you are leveraged to hell, have a ton of businesses and/or properties, larger cash transactions will not look as suspicious as it would for a random guy who periodically deposits cash with no idea attached to it. Hide in plain sight. Become a known “businessman”, take care of some politicians and have businesses that “perform” above average, but not impossibly well.
It is likely a lot of work and I’d think in the long run you have much more shot between getting caught by the illegal action that is making you money and the laundering. So I think you could get away with a lump sum of dirty money, but continually it would become hard.
I’m sure there are people who know how to successfully get away with laundering. We only hear about the people who failed at it.
