Abstract: 

The authors begin by giving an overview of the elements of criminal money laundering under U.S. law and consider when a person is deemed to have knowledge that a transaction involves the proceeds of crime. They then suggest criteria to apply in determining whether assets remain tainted as the connection with criminal activity becomes more attenuated.

Keywords: Criminal Money Laundering Under 18 U.S.C. 1956; Bona Fide Recipients; Good Faith Attempt to Determine Proceeds of Crime
