There were news reports in the NY dailies but I can't provide links because they mention Names. You'll have to do some creative googling.

"As part of their prostitution business, XXXX and YYYY arranged for escorts to meet clients in Manhattan and in numerous other locations for prostitution services, charging them thousands of dollars.  They required escorts to deposit the proceeds of their commercial sex acts into a large number of bank accounts that they controlled, many of them in the name of fake entities.  They then laundered the money through thousands of domestic and international financial transactions. ..."

There are many other business Organizations operating under a single major name, unrelated to prostitution (except, possibly, as clients), that are actually a conglomeration of hundreds of LLCs with mysterious interconnections that allow them to hide the sources and destinations of financial transactions. That's what makes it so difficult for the IRS to audit their tax filings.  An example was recently (May 13, 2020) mentioned on the P&R board (subject line: "Re: Tax returns are ALREADY in the hands of the gov").

Apparently, they do not care about getting caught & Being shut down.
