The way Queens, N.Y., solo Luis Flores portrayed it to a federal appeals court, his client duped him into believing he was a legitimate businessman, not the ringleader of a drug-money-laundering scheme.
But the court didn’t buy it.
New York solo Luis Flores claimed to be duped into believing that his client was a legitimate businessman and not the ringleader of a money-laundering scheme. But the 3rd Circuit didn't fall for it and upheld Flores' convictions of money laundering, conspiracy to launder money and conspiracy to structure transactions. Flores is currently serving a 32-month sentence and will probably lose his law license. His client was sentenced to 49 months, with credit for time served, and was released two weeks later.
