Hello all,
I am hoping to learn how to say "shady side business," or a similar phrase, in Spanish. Examples of this type of activity: exotic pet trade, funneling drugs through laundromats, etc.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

"Shady side business" is very idiomatic. I don´t of an idiom specifically for these illegal businesses you mention, but a criminal probably could tell you. Normal people would use the following expressions:
La venta / la cria / el tráfico ilegal / el contrabando de la vida salvaje / de especies
El narcotráfico (a través de cualquier movimiento)
