The Supreme Court agreed Monday to decide whether merely hiding money that is headed out of the United States can constitute money laundering. The case involves the conviction of a man arrested in Texas while traveling toward Mexico with $83,000 in cash hidden beneath the floor of his car. Police suspected the money came from drug trafficking. Several federal appeals courts have said that concealing money that is going across the U.S. border, without proving why, is a federal money laundering crime.
