oh sorry, forgot to mention, dirty money generally means money one gets with illegal approach, right? therefore, i don't think 铜臭气 isn't the perfect word for it. 铜臭气 means someone who's filthy rich or money-driven, not necessarily illegal. e.g. 他充滿铜臭气。(he's so rich and he's not humble about the fact that he's rich at all.)
