Money Laundering Crimes

Money laundering is a white collar crime that involves disguising the origins of illegally-obtained money in order to make it appear to have come from legitimate activities. The Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 has made money laundering a criminal act. Proceeds that have been attained through specific unlawful activities per the act cannot be shifted about in financial transactions. Financial transactions can be almost any type of financial activity and does not have to involve banks or other financial institutions or businesses. These types of transactions can be as basic as passing funds from one person to another if it is done so with the intent to disguise where the funds came from.

It is also against the law to spend more than $10,000 worth of funds from a specific unlawful activity, whether those funds are being for money laundering purposes or otherwise. Cash transactions of more than $10,000 are reported by financial institutions, identifying who has made the transaction and the source of their funds. Suspicious Activity Reports are also generated by financial institutions under the law to alert authorities to funds that may be connected to illegal activities.
