Understanding Money Laundering Charges

Money laundering is the act of disguising the proceeds of illegal activity as legitimate funds. This process involves a series of transactions designed to conceal the source, ownership, or destination of the funds.

Understanding Pennsylvania's Money Laundering Penalties

Money laundering is a federal crime in the United States, and it is also likely to be prohibited under state laws. In Pennsylvania, as in many other states, the penalties for money laundering can vary depending on the specific circumstances and the severity of the offense.

Money Laundering (18 U.S.C. § 1956) involves conducting financial transactions with proceeds derived from illegal activities, intending to promote the illegal activity, or with the knowledge that the transactions are designed to conceal the nature, source, or ownership of the funds. Individuals convicted of money laundering can face fines up to $500,000 or twice the value of the property involved in the transaction (whichever is greater), as well as imprisonment for up to 20 years.

Money Laundering Transaction (18 U.S.C. § 1957) involves knowingly engaging in a monetary transaction involving criminally derived property that exceeds a threshold amount (currently $10,000). Individuals convicted of money laundering transactions can face fines up to the greater of $250,000 or twice the value of the property involved in the transaction, as well as imprisonment for up to 10 years.
