How do money laundering fronts stay open ?

Typically they will just lie about sales right, so couldnt tax authorities just monitor the number of people going in and out of businesses where they can track easily sales from the outside?(for example barber shop) Then they could just shut down the operation easily by proving fraud? I might be stupid here but it doesn’t make sense to me

2 people a day on the team, plus the rental of a van (suspicious) or property nearby is probably going to cost a thousand bucks a day. The eventual prosecution will require a leal team, court etc.

A 2 man barber shop can probably claim 40 haircuts a day, at 20 bucks that’s a max of $800/day being laundered… that’s a very expensive cost to shut down a small money launderer.
