So, if you declare that money it is already clean?

If I declare 100m of selling coke, and pay 60m in taxs, the remaining 40m are clean?

No, paying income taxes isn't money laundering. Those two are totally unrelated.

Also, money laundering doesn't make it not-a-crime to have dirty money, it just makes it harder to trace the crime. It is, in fact, a crime in itself.

just means you're not committing two crimes, and as even the joker knows, you don't fuck with the IRS

You can't plead insanity for tax evasion. So if they get him on that he doesn't go back to Arkham.
