Money laundering is a complex white collar crime that involves taking money that was obtained unlawfully and making it appear as though it came from a legitimate source, working to put it in a valid account where it can be spent. Although money laundering was most often associated with organized crime, drug trafficking and similar operations, today money laundering may also be related to tax evasion, embezzlement, and a number of other means by which the offender illegally obtained money.

Penalties for Money Laundering

Money laundering is often penalized by heavy fines and imprisonment and will vary primarily upon the amount of money involved, the time over which the offense occurred and the offender's criminal record, if any. A first money laundering conviction may result in imprisonment and up to $250,000 in fines or twice the value of money that was laundered, whichever is greater. A second or subsequent offense will result in imprisonment and fines of up to $500,000 or five times the money involved, whichever is greater.
