THE RED FLAG FOR COHEN'S MONEY DEALINGS

Accountantfag here….reading through the SDNY Press Release on Cohen and this is the HUGE RED FLAG I see that people don't seem to be talking about…

The next morning, on October 27, 2016, COHEN went to Bank-3 and wired approximately $130,000 from Essential Consultants to Attorney-1. On the bank form to complete the wire, COHEN falsely indicated that the “purpose of wire being sent” was “retainer.” On November 1, 2016, COHEN received from Attorney-1 copies of the final, signed confidential settlement agreement and side letter agreement.

COHEN COUCHED A LEGAL SETTLEMENT AS A RETAINER

Also….the company, Essential Consultants, is a shell company.

This is my mind is MONEY LAUNDERING so it is interesting that there is no mention of money laundering in this guilty plea. Lawfags care to chime in?

All of this money movement reminds me of the undercover piece that was done by Global Witness on 60 minutes in January 2016:

"Wearing a hidden camera, a Global Witness investigator met with 13 New York law firms including the then-president of the American Bar Association (ABA), James Silkenat (3). Posing as an adviser to a foreign government official, the investigator asked the lawyers how to anonymously move large sums of money that should have raised suspicions of corruption (4). In all but one case, the lawyers provided suggestions on how to get the money into the U.S. without detection. In many cases, the lawyers suggested using companies or trusts from the Overseas Territories to move the money. The meetings were all preliminary; none of the law firms took the investigator on as a client."

One of the attorneys suggested SETTING UP A SHELL COMPANY: "Hugh Finnegan, James Silkenat’s colleague at Sullivan and Worcester, suggested that the minister set up an American LLC but that “pretty quickly you’d go offshore” and have the LLC “owned by somebody from the Cayman Islands or wherever”.

So we know Q is working on Global Terrorism and has mentioned shell companies.

Is this Michael Cohen guilty plea the first of the 45,000 sealed indictments??? More to come?

^^^More on Cohen lying on wire transfer…in layman's terms

Why do banks require a purpose for a bank wire? What if you lie?

Most likely to satisfy local money laundering rules in your region.

If you lie and you're not laundering money then the most likely outcome is that a bank clerk somewhere will be a little bit sad.

If you lie and you are laundering money then you will probably find that you've committed an extra crime and so will mean you face an extra penalty of some sort.

My advice:

Don't launder money, most skilled jobs pay better than crime anyway

If you are sending money to someone for a legitimate purpose then don't sweat it

SO EASY to lie on a bank transfer…

Agreed BUT the fact that he called it a RETAINER opened up a whole new can of worms because of the strict rules surrounding IOLTA accounts.

I also think that Q+ is tired of the politicians…accountants…attorneys…shell companies money laundering games and the hammer is coming down.

I may have answered my own question WHY NO MENTION OF MONEY LAUNDERING IN COHEN GUILTY PLEA?

Because it wasn't approved by DOJ Criminal Division???
