The option that is NOT an intention that warrants a money laundering conviction is:

  1. Intervening with an ongoing "specified unlawful activity".

Money laundering laws typically focus on the promotion, concealment, or facilitation of specified unlawful activities rather than intervening in them. Engaging in tax evasion or tax fraud can also be considered a predicate offense for money laundering.
