What is Money Laundering?
Money laundering is the process of disguising the proceeds of criminal activity as legitimate funds. It’s a serious federal crime that can carry hefty penalties, including lengthy prison sentences and substantial fines.Under New York Penal Law § 470.05, you could be prosecuted for money laundering in the fourth degree if you:
- Know that a financial transaction represents the proceeds of criminal conduct and you:
- Conduct at least one financial transaction with intent to carry on the criminal conduct or with intent to violate federal tax law; or
- Conduct at least one financial transaction knowing that it was designed to hide the nature, location or control of the criminal conduct; or
- Conduct at least one financial transaction that is designed to avoid required transaction reporting and the amount of the transaction exceeds $10,000.
- Know that at least one money instrument represents the proceeds of criminal conduct and you transport the money instrument with intent to:
- Promote carrying on the criminal conduct; or
- Hide the nature, location or control of the criminal conduct; or
- Avoid transaction reporting and the amount of the money instrument or instruments exceeds $10,000.
