MN Money Laundering Attorney

money laundering uh is sort of what it

sounds like it’s a way to make money

that was gained through criminal

activity look like it’s okay

so that’s what they’re doing and the

reason they do that of course is to

be able to spend it without recourse so

this is something that you would expect

to see in lots of indictments in federal

court that claim some sort of fraud

because the purpose of the fraud usually

is to gain some money and then you need

to do something with the money so it

doesn’t look like you took it unlawfully

it’s a good thing to put an indictment

from a prosecutor’s standpoint because

it sounds terrible and they get up and

tell the jury this person’s charged with

money laundering it sounds like they’re

very important and sophisticated crook

so they start out with that presumption

it also raises the person’s sentencing

guidelines in federal court so that

there’s an additional reason prosecutors

like to use it but that’s what money

laundering is in a nutshell
