What Are the Penalties for Money Laundering in NY?

Money laundering typically occurs to hide the source of ownership of money obtained through illicit conduct. In accordance with New York laws, financial transactions include all deposits, payments, loans, wire transfers, and currency exchanges. It's important to note that even if a bank or outside financial group was involved, it is still considered illegal.

Penalties for money laundering include:

  • A possible felony conviction
  • Imprisonment for up to 25 years
  • Fines equaling up to two times the amount that was laundered
  • New York's penalties increase in severity as the money increases, specifically in amounts of $5,000, $50,000, $100,000, and $1 million.
