Would you be able to pay for something in the millions via normal payment methods though? The laundering makes sense for the smaller numbers like in the link (~$500) but these huge values make it seem unlikely to me (and would surely draw attention?)
I don't know about elsewhere in the world but I don't think I could spend >50k on a card in the UK without some kind of prior authorisation.
