“And it does sound like she is guilty - and stupid enough to admit it:”
Did we read the same article? From what I can tell this woman is “guilty” of running a business and depositing her proceeds in the bank.
The USA is no longer a free country.
Her money is “guilty.”
She’s in the clear. Civil forfeiture laws have been abused for years.
Its innocent middle class people now losing their life savings not mobsters or drug lords who have made profits off their crime.
And its all perfectly legal.
Looks like she admits to having taken steps that her mother suggested to keep individual deposits under $10k each. That’s structuring, it’s a bigger crime than money laundering, and with her comments, really easy to prove.
As a fed prosecutor said one time in my hearing, ‘We like the technical violations. They are easy to prove.’
Hasn't been, for many decades.
