Stefan D. Cassella, US Dept of Justice

Abstract

These are the lecture notes from a presentation on the impact of the Supreme Court's decisions on June 2, 2008 in the Santos and Cuellar cases, which arguably have limited the government's ability to use the anti-money laundering statutes to prosecute both domestic and international money laundering offenses. A more formal paper on this topic will be forthcoming.
