However, is it far fetched to think illicit funds might finance the development of a virtual economy, in a mobile game perhaps, that could be used to launder money? Seems theres a need for fraud detection practices to extend into virtual economies as well.

I don't think so.. The lure is that it can be fast and automated, and that using new technology will help avoiding the feds.
Why bother? Any financial attorney in any part of the world knows how to cash or launder money, or, at least, will point to someone who can (for a small mediator fee).
The small taste of free courses from Stanford was exactly what I needed to remind me what I enjoyed most about college. I especially like how they allow you to take and retake quizzes until you achieve 100%; a great way to reinforce concepts. A community curated list of free university courses would be fantastic, an aggregator of sorts.
