Bank Structuring and Other Illegal Financial Transactions
Bank structuring is a term used to describe the circumvention of bank filing requirements to hide illegal financial transactions. Typically, the goal is to avoid paying taxes or obscure the true nature of such transactions.
At the law office of Georges G. Lederman, we handle a wide range of criminal charges involving allegations of fraud, embezzlement, bank structuring and other illegal financial transactions. We have extensive experience in federal and state criminal matters, including all major white collar criminal charges in federal court.
Examples of recent cases we have handled that include bank structuring, business fraud and other white collar crimes include:
- Defended a sole proprietor who was investigated by the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office for allegations of bank structuring and tax fraud. The client was not charged.
- Defended an individual indicted for illegal monetary transactions involving the international transport of large sums of undeclared U.S. currency. The case resulted in a non-custodial disposition.
- Defended a senior manager of a domestic corporation who was charged with tax evasion and tax fraud and who had also been investigated for bank structuring. The case resulted in a non-Federal Sentencing Guidelines disposition.
Bank structuring charges and other white collar crimes are highly complex in nature and require the attention of an experienced criminal defense attorney. Frequently, these cases are prosecuted in federal court. As federal criminal charges are distinct from state charges in a number of respects, it is critical to have a lawyer familiar with the complexities of federal criminal practice.
The founder of our firm, Georges G. Lederman, has extensive experience both in federal and state court. He concentrates his criminal law practice on complex cases involving allegations of illegal business transactions, including business fraud, art fraud, embezzlement and tax fraud.
