Bitcoin nowadays is not a real money that can be consider, but it is a kind of virtual currency which can can be converted into a real one currency. Though in some other ways bitcoin can be use in money laundering it the depends on the people of how he/she going to use it, because it is an open source that can be use for good and bad purposes.
i think when people want to use bitcoin for money laundering, they can do with safe because no one will know what purpose they have when they are using bitcoin beside that we don't know for what transaction that in the network. the only thing that we know that there is a transaction that have been created in the network.
Yes the regular bitcoin users cannot know if there are money laundering that is occurring but do not underestimate the government. If they will notice something is going on with the financial sector then they will conduct and investigation and later on they will find out where are the huge monetary transactions are going on and they can trace it even if it is with bitcoin.
