Particularly the "money laundering" that Rush has allready admitted to ? (check my profile/links for quotes from Rush )

That is absurd. Even if Rush deliberately structured withdrawals to avoid scrutiny, it's not money laundering. Money can only be "laundered" if it's illegally obtained in the first place. Rush makes ~$30 million a year. His money is already clean.
