Let me stop you right there and explain to you what money laundering is.

noun
noun: money laundering; noun: moneylaundering
the concealment of the origins of
illegally obtained money, typically by means of transfers involving foreign banks or legitimate businesses.
"he was convicted of money laundering and tax evasion"
Is your money illegally obtained?
If the answer is no, you have absolutely no worry of money laundering.
Also, there is no such thing as "legal money laundering." Money laundering is inherently illegal. There is no such thing as a legal illegal thing.
