Money in bubblesWhat is a Federal Money Laundering Crime in Fort Lauderdale?

A federal money laundering crime is when someone disguises the money they earned through illegal means, such as through drug trafficking, and tries to make it look like the money was legally earned.

The crime is considered a federal money laundering crime if you led the laundered money through state lines or laundered it yourself across state lines.

Federal money laundering involves the crime taking place in, or across, state lines in some way OR if it involves a federal agent or agency. The federal money laundering statute(18 U.S. Code § 1956) essentially makes it illegal to perform a financial transaction with money or property that was obtained illegally.

Then, If those monies or properties are transported  from a place within the U.S. to a place outside the U.S., or within the U.S. to a different state, a federal money laundering crime has been committed.

CONSEQUENCES OF FEDERAL MONEY LAUNDERING

A federal money laundering crime in South Florida is not taken lightly in court, as our attorneys know all too well. You are looking at very severe punishments that could negatively alter the course of your life.

Consequences for money laundering could include:​

  • Fines: There are no maximum fines on federal money laundering crimes, so you could be looking at fines more than $500,000 or even fines that are double the amount of money involved in the money laundering transaction.
  • Prison: Up to 20 years in federal prison.
  • Civil Penalty: In general, if convicted the person will be responsible to pay the United States for the value of property, funds, monetary instruments, etc; or $10,000.

Federal Money Laundering Defense Strategies

  • Lack of intent: In order for you to be convicted of a federal money laundering crime, the prosecution must be able to prove that you knowingly engaged in illegal activity to obtain your money or property. We can argue that you were unaware that your money or property came from illegal means.
  • Forced into scheme: If true, we can argue that you were forced to participate in a money laundering scheme against your will. For example, if a friend threatened you or your family if you did not engage in the money laundering scheme, then we can proclaim that you did not want to actually conduct unlawful activity. This could even indicate that you might have been a victim of a crime rather than a committer of a crime.

    In one of the most stressful times in my life, Rossen Law Firm was there for me. Leaving no stone unturned they provided patience and knowledge in every detail of my case. I’m very thankful and proud of this law firm family and especially of my lawyer, Scott Simmons for guiding, defending and helping me in every way possible. He and this law firm family come highly recommended from personal experience!!!

    I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

    Adam Rossen and the team at Rossen Law took great care in handling my case. They are very professional, and get the job done. I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.I literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

    I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

    My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
