Seems to be both identity theft and money laundering going on. Identity theft is a crime, but idk how much liability Amazon has. At least, I don't think there are specific/explicit rules about how this works. There probably is some case, referencing general laws about assisting or not preventing crimes or whatnot. ...I think.
Money laundering, OTOH... There is lots of legislation, regulation, enforcement... 99% of what falls under these is not money laundering, the plain English kind. It's measures to prevent tax avoidance, funding unsavouries and such. I imagine that bonafide laundering would be treated very seriously by authorities, but also banks and financial institutions Amazon work with.
