(In my opinion)
Some hacker provides a paid service in which you have either hacked spotify accounts or well generated fakes that can run streams on fake artists accounts.
Some random mafia pays these hackers to maintain their bots and to launder their money.
You can even pay the hackers with the finally laundered money.
Now the hacker has to launder the money somehow. Fine, it's much less money, but still it doesn't feel like laundering rather than just straight up scamming.
