CASE STUDIES
Thu, 05/23/2024 - 1:00pm-1:55pm

The IRS Criminal Investigations unit presents two case studies that shine a light on two financial crime typologies: money-laundering through crypto and tax evasion through secret bank accounts. In the first case, a third-party money launderer who worked for several criminal organizations pleaded guilty to operating an unlicensed money transmitting business. The peer-to-peer crypto network was the largest in Florida and fifth-largest in the country. In the second example, a Russian national was sentenced to more than seven years in prison for failing to file tax returns and failing to file a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts. Case studies are always a favorite among attendees for their real-life implications; these two cases are no exception.
