In 'Ozark', what is the main illegal activity the family engages in?

Answer

Money laundering

'Ozark' follows a middle-class family who launders money for a drug cartel in the Ozark region after a tragic mistake sets criminal forces in motion. The family's money laundering operation through businesses and casinos provides the vehicle for exploring how ordinary people rationalize involvement in serious crime. Money laundering allows the show to examine financial crime's mechanics while maintaining the family's relative normalcy and their desperate attempts to protect their children. The scheme becomes increasingly complex as the family gains competence while simultaneously losing moral bearings.
