The gang operated across Bristol and Gloucestershire and then converted the cash into cryptocurrency.
Four members of a gang who laundered more than £2m of cash through Post Offices have been jailed.
The criminals used a network of 30 Post Offices across Bristol and Gloucestershire to deposit up to £20,000 at a time, Bristol Crown Court heard.
On Friday, Patrick White, 31, from Spa Road and Thomas Dainty, 31, from Abbeymead, both in Gloucester, were the last members of the gang to be sentenced after pleading guilty to money laundering.
Gang leader Giuseppe Sangiovanni was jailed for six years and eight months in April for the same crime. Detectives said Sangiovanni lived a luxury lifestyle after they found a Porsche and a collection of Rolex watches at his Cheltenham home.
White and Dainty were also jailed for drug dealing crimes, which were unrelated to the money laundering. Both admitted being concerned in the supply of cocaine, and Dainty also pleaded guilty to supplying cannabis.
Dainty was jailed for two years and nine months, while White was sentenced to three years and eight months.
