Former bank robber sues brokerage house: says he never wanted his funds to reach the U.S. - where they were seized
Article Abstract:
Michael John Paul Green claims Merrill Lynch & Co erred in transferring an account of his to a US office, subjecting it to seizure by US officials who call him a money launderer. Merrill Lynch, which recently asked US District Judge Stanley Marcus to bar further complaints by Green to the Natl Assn of Securities Dealers, says it is immunized by federal law, Green opened the account under a false name making it void anyway, and his annual filings cost the company a fortune in legal bills. Green was never charged in the US.

Agent-witness 'igloo' tryst leaves defendants in cooler
Article Abstract:
An affair between an imprisoned informant and an investigating IRS agent did not taint the conviction of two other men on money-laundering charges, ruled US District Judge James Kehoe. IRS criminal investigator Synda Smith and marijuana smuggler Charles Goldman became involved while testifying against Goldman's former associates, David Arnold and Armando Coto. Smith and Goldman exchanged letters and 'cooing' phone calls, and had sex several times in the prosecutor's lounge of the Miami federal courthouse.

Anatomy of a prosecution defeat; the case against the Cali cartel's U.S. lawyers failed; what happened?
Article Abstract:
Former Justice Dept official Michael Abbell and defense lawyer William Moran faced numerous charges, including racketeering, money laundering, conspiracy, money laundering, and the importation and distribution of cocaine in US v. Abbell. The US government, however, failed to convict Abbell and Moran as being involved with the Cali drug cartel. Jury instructions and the verdict form were burdensome and long, which may have hindered the jury in connecting the alleged acts with any conspiracy.
