Content: When money laundering is added to the underlying charge of wire fraud, she is looking at an advisory sentencing range of 37 to 46 months in prison. If aggravating factors are proven such as fraud by ‘sophisticated means’ or ‘sophisticated money laundering,’ then she could even be looking at 41 to 51 months. And even higher if other sentencing enhancements are also found to apply. By the way, like wire fraud, money laundering carries a maximum potential sentence of up to 20 years. However, the guideline ranges I have mentioned are the starting point from which the likely sentence is determined. ( Note, if she accepts responsibility and pleads guilty then the ranges I mentioned get reduced to 27 to 33 months, or 30 to 37 months if aggravating factors are found.)” HL: What does “sophisticated” money laundering mean? Bailey: “ It’s a term regarding [an] offense conducted that involves a greater level of planning or concealment than a typical fraud of the same nature.
