Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court yesterday heard Bowyer, who worked for the Coal Board with Bible in the 1970s, laundered £161,000 for him from February 2004 to March 2009.
Fairhurst laundered £58,000 over four-and-a-half years and Lowe laundered £76,000 in seven months from the summer of 2008.
Prosecutor Kennedy Talbot said: “These three defendants were involved in laundering the proceeds of an illegal medicines website run by Geoffrey Bible, probably from Cyprus.
“The website sold a vast array of medicines, some class C drugs, as well as prescription drugs.
“Some erectile dysfunction drugs were fakes. The most well known erectile dysfunction drug was Viagra.
“There were also weight loss drugs and tranquillisers.”
Mr Talbot said Bible left Britain in 2002/03.
“There were three ways they helped him – cashing cheques, taking the cash to Western Union for transmission to Bible or his partner Norma Ruutel-Glykys or third parties, and the last method was crediting prepaid credit cards.
