Money laundering charges can stem from various criminal enterprises from mortgage fraud to cocaine trafficking. The laundering of money is criminal offense where illegally obtained monies are transferred to bank accounts or individuals in an effort to make the funds appear as if they have been generated through legitimate business enterprises. If a money laundering scheme is successful, those engaged in criminal conduct can successfully spend their illegally acquired money without fear of prosecution.

In an effort to curtail criminal enterprises and money laundering, the federal government has enacted laws over the years to prevent those involved in criminal enterprises from using financial institutions such as a banks and brokerage houses to clean their money. The following federal laws were passed to assist federal authorities and prosecutors in the fight against money laundering: The Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 and the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. In addition to the federal measures added to curtail money laundering, 36 states have also enacted legislature to combat the increasingly popular crime.
