It's harmful to all of us to spread the myth that Bitcoin is inherently money laundering.
The point is money laundering is to take money from an illegitimate source and make it look like it come from something legitimate. Bitcoin does not do that any more than taking cash out of an ATM would. Cash is just cash, with no source information at all. Lightning Bitcoin is just Lightning Bitcoin, with no source information at all.

That's nice. But it's a bullshit definition that exists. We should not spread the myth that things fit that definition when they definitely do not.
I'm sure spooks are happy for all kinds of things to be called money laundering when they really aren't.
