Men washed stolen money in motel laundry machine

When Anthony Digiosaffatte and Paul Villanueva laundered the money nabbed in a bank robbery, authorities say, they took the literal approach - sticking some of the cash in a washing machine to cleanse it of red dye from a special pack that exploded during the heist.

"They must've washed it many times because the bills were washed out and looked worn down," said Sgt. Robert Young, commander of the FBI and New York Police Department's Joint Bank Robbery Task Force.
