Is money laundering a criminal activity that is closely related to the underlying crime?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Lopez, 104 F.3d 1149 (9th Cir. 1996):
To hold otherwise would mean that every act of money laundering would be closely related to the underlying crime which produced the laundered money. This result is contrary to common sense and to 3D1.2's mission to incrementally punish significant additional criminal conduct.
Harper, 972 F.2d at 322-23 (quoting United States v. Porter, 909 F.2d 789, 793 (4th Cir.1990)).
