Possibly, but it wouldn't have the benefit of being 100% legal, as voidnull's solution appears to be. Also if Wordpress were to discover your fake info they might take your site down.

However, because you can't delete your Wordpress.com account

&&

providing false information is the only viable option in case you want to get rid of it.

Why is that not 100% legal?

Providing false information to WordPress is probably not legal.

This is what I had in mind; good old CFAA. Ditto for entering false info in moneygram. (Not commenting on whether these things
should
be illegal.)

Well, it also touches on fraud and impersonation, old, long established crimes, not just computer hacking.

Is laundering legal money and then using it for legal purposes illegal?

If the money was obtained legally to begin with, concealing the source is not illegal.

If the laundering method is illegal, then yes.
