Money Laundering

Money laundering charges often involve intricate financial transactions, sophisticated proof requirements, and federal statutes that can expose individuals and businesses to significant criminal liability. Allegations may include laundering drug proceeds, concealing gains from fraud, structuring transactions to avoid reporting requirements, or operating a money services business without appropriate licensing. These cases carry the risk of decades in federal prison and the forfeiture of all funds the government claims are connected to illegal activity.

Extensive Experience in Money Laundering Investigations

Daniel Fortune supervised major money laundering matters and led national and international investigations while serving as Deputy Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Criminal Division. This experience gave him a deep understanding of how federal prosecutors build their cases. He is familiar with techniques used to trace funds across multiple transactions, the financial experts who analyze patterns for the government, and the methods used to establish knowledge and intent to conceal proceeds of unlawful activity.

Daniel worked closely with the FBI, IRS, and international law enforcement on investigations involving cryptocurrency transactions, global wire transfers, shell entities, and highly structured financial activity. This background provides valuable insight into the investigative strategies and evidentiary approaches federal prosecutors rely on.
