This is a money laundering scheme, isn't it?

Since I think it is, is there any way of me getting in trouble if I just keep the money?

Isn't this the classic check trick? I think the bank makes the balance available before the check clears, but it will eventually bounce.
I don't think it's laundering, I think they're just trying to scam you.

it's not a money laundering scheme.
the check they gave you will bounce after you've put money into their 'vendor' account. You'll wind up owing the 4 grand and they'll have your money.

This. The check hasn't actually cleared yet, your bank has just made the funds available (as a courtesy). Wait a week and then you'll see that the check will be kicked back as fraudulent
