Bulk Cash Smuggling
If you’re on our website, it’s because you’re in legal trouble – and need a criminal defense attorney. Our goal at Spodek Law Group is to provide the best possible customer service at all stages of your case. Most importantly, if federal authorities are investigating you for bulk cash smuggling, we take this very seriously.
Understanding Federal Bulk Cash Smuggling Laws The federal government, specifically under 31 U.S.C. § 5332, prosecutes individuals accused of concealing more than $10,000 while crossing borders. At Spodek Law Group, we understand that when you’re accused of a crime, and arrested, you’re likely scared, and anxious. The Department of Justice is responsible for prosecuting these cases, and they follow different federal rules of procedure than state courts.
When deciding on federal cases, federal judges have to follow sentencing guidelines, and there are minimum sentences. There is no room for discretion on the part of the federal judge. This is vastly different from other law firms who take on every single client. We focus on only working with clients who we can truly help.
Our Approach to Federal Defense Unlike other attorneys who focus on their relationship with prosecutors and judges, we owe loyalty to our clients. We work very hard to get our clients the outcomes they need. Every single client who works with Spodek Law Group does so because they need top legal help.
The Stakes Are Serious If convicted of bulk cash smuggling, your future is in jeopardy:
- Federal prison sentences up to 5 years
- Fines reaching $250,000
- Complete asset forfeiture
- Additional federal charges
Recent Defense Victories Our managing partner, Todd Spodek, recently represented a business owner accused of smuggling cash between states. The prosecution had to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt, but we successfully demonstrated legitimate business operations. This showcases our ability to handle complex federal cases.
In another notable case, we represented a client accused of transporting money without knowledge of reporting requirements. We focused on challenging the government’s evidence of specific intent – a crucial element they must prove beyond reasonable doubt.
