Cases Won – Interstate Money Laundering (HTo)
RESULTS: Revocation Beat! DOC Failed to Prove Violations – Client Released. A final revocation hearing was held and testimony was taken from IOWA State Troopers. Sydne argued that although Client had obviously left the state against regulations, there was no direct evidence linking Client to money laundering. Sydne argued that revocation was inappropriate and unnecessary. Administrative Law Judge agreed with Sydne and ruled that Client should NOT be revoked. Client was released soon afterward.
Violations: Money Laundering, Leaving State Without Permission. Client was on probation in Wisconsin; rules included Client could not leave the State and could not possess cash over $50. Client was stopped in a vehicle (as a passenger) in IOWA. The vehicle contained over $100,000 dollars in cash hidden in a compartment underneath the dashboard and Client had $1,000 cash in his pocket. Driver was subsequently arrested for felony counts of money laundering. Client was subsequently transported back to Wisconsin on a PO hold and revocation proceedings began shortly thereafter.
