The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Worton, 133 F.3d 931 (9th Cir. 1998):
Raymundo also argues that the evidence is insufficient to support the money laundering convictions. Under 18 U.S.C. 1956, the government needed to prove that (1) the defendant conducted a financial transaction with the proceeds from stolen property; (2) the defendant knew that the funds were proceeds from stolen property; and (3) the defendant knew that the transaction was designed in whole or in part to conceal or disguise the nature, location, source, ownership or control of the proceeds. See United States v. Golb, 69 F.3d 1417, 1421-22 (9th Cir.1995), cert. denied, 116 S.Ct. 1369 (1996).
