She's not being charged with illegal money transfers but with perjury.

I didn't say the money transfers were illegal (although LE/Treasury/Homeland Security may disagree with me on that). The point is she was specifically asked if they had any assets for bond, and she answered "no". Money in an account is normally considered assets, indeed liquid assets, the most available kind, and it doesn't legally become "no assets" simply by moving it into a spouse's or relatives' account.

Perhaps they didn't view the money from the Paypal account as "assets for bond". It was raised for his living expenses and lawyer's fees -- not for bailbond -- and should probably have been offlimits for bailbond calculation.

The prosecutor claims that because they had this money their bailbond should have been higher because it proves that they were not destitute. Who are they kidding??? They were and are a charity case facing a year of legal fees and that money will go fast. If $150,000 bond is considered low for someone in Zimmerman's financial situation, then their jails must be full.
