Being a prostitute isn't considered a serious crime in this instance and doesn't involve large amounts of money. On the other hand, a prostitute could be charged with income tax evasion if she didn't pay her taxes.
Here, read the law.
US CODE: Title 18,1956. Laundering of monetary instruments
The crime mentioned in the tape wasn't BEING a prostitute, it was running a ring of underage prostitutes.
Which is a VERY serious crime. Several very serious crimes in fact.
Kidnapping, conspiracy to commit rape, trafficking as defined by the VICTIMS OF TRAFFICKING AND VIOLENCE PROTECTION ACT OF 2000, etc, etc...
The crime of money laundering was specifically designed to catch people behaving in such a manner.
