What is money laundering?

Money laundering is a criminal offense dealing with knowingly conducting or supervising a transaction that involves proceeds derived from criminal activity, or assisting with concealing, possessing, transferring or transporting criminal activity proceeds.

A conviction on a money laundering is extremely serious. Incarceration in a federal prison is extremely unpleasant, and you could remain there for years depending on the nature of the conviction. Not only do you face the prospect of being heavily fined and having your assets seized, the effects of being a convicted felon will haunt you for the rest of your life. It can not only harm your chances of finding work after being released, but it can also alienate you from your former colleagues and can harm your personal relationships with family and friends.
