The point is to shut down these unlicensed quasi-legitimate business like eGold, which have insufficient safeguards to impede widespread criminal laundering, and force the crooks to places with more monitoring and more evidence retention. It's all about making the money traceable, not eliminating the laundering.

Even DOJ isn't stupid enough to believe that busting eGold and unauthorized services like it will stop laundering entirely.
