Money laundering charges are very serious, and a conviction can ruin your life...
- Prison. Money laundering is almost charged as a felony offense, but in some states misdemeanor charges are possible. A misdemeanor money laundering conviction can result in a jail sentence up to a year long, while felony convictions have penalties of a year or more in prison. In some situations, such as when a person is a repeat offender, where the money laundering was a part of an ongoing criminal enterprise, or where the laundering was related to terrorist activities, prison sentences can last 35 years or more.
- Fines. Money laundering fines can be steep. While misdemeanor convictions typically allow for fines up to no more than a few thousand dollars, a federal conviction for money laundering can result in fines of up to $500,000 or double the amount of money that was laundered, whichever is greater.
- Probation. Probation sentences are possible for money laundering convictions. Courts impose probation sentences that last a specific amount of time, typically at least one year, but sometimes as long as three years or more. During the time you're on probation you have to meet specific probation conditions. Probation terms typically include regularly reporting to a probation officer, allowing the officer to conduct random home checks, taking random drug tests, and not committing other crimes. If you violate probation a court can revoke it and order you to serve a prison term, lengthen the probation period, impose additional fines, or impose other penalties.
The last two things I posted were from an Attorney in the Cleveland area,,.
My point was ,, I wonder IF running a site and taking money from members for advertising is against parole?
It seems that since there is a charge on him for this,, he would have to forfeit the site? NO??
