Beto O’Rourke’s mother, Melissa, ran a furniture store based in El Paso called Charlotte’s Inc., which was a family owned business that has survived three generations of leadership.

 

In early 2010, the business was raided by Government and IRS agents, in which financial records were seized as part of a search warrant. Early allegations stemming from now-deleted news postings hinted that the business was the target of a money-laundering operation. No other further details were given through these sources.

 

In May of 2010, Melissa O’Rourke pleaded guilty to federal structuring violations and was ordered to pay $250,000 and the company was put on 5 years probation, according to a 2010 KVIA article based out of El Paso.

 

The article also referenced the following details from court proceedings and documents:

 

Charlotte’s, Inc., represented by its owner Melissa O’Rourke, pleaded guilty Tuesday morning to a one count Information charging the company with structuring transactions involving more than $630,000 in order to evade financial reporting requirements…

 

…

 

O’Rourke admitted that on 15 different occasions from May 2005-Oct. 2006 one or more of the company’s employees separated cash transactions for merchandise with each transaction ranging from $22,000 to $50,000. Each transaction was separated into multiple receipts.

 

No receipt amounted to more than $10,000 so that IRS reporting requirements could be avoided.

 

Details about a potential money-laundering operation, or where the unreported money went were never referenced, and the business shuttered in August of 2017.
