ASSOCIATED CONSPIRACY OFFENSES

Prosecutors frequently file federal conspiracy charges because it is a broad crime that can cover a large range of topics. Some of the most common types of federal conspiracy charges are:

• Drug possession, distribution, or trafficking conspiracy;
• Money laundering conspiracy;
• Bank, mail or wire fraud conspiracy; or
• Health care fraud conspiracy

The United States Code contains other specific conspiracy provisions. For example, 21 U.S.C. § 846 makes it illegal to commit a conspiracy to manufacture, distribute, or possess with intent to distribute controlled substances. Another section of the United States Code, 21 U.S.C. § 1956(h), makes it a crime to knowingly and willfully agree with someone to engage in a financial transaction that takes “dirty” money obtained through criminal activity and use it in a clean, legitimate way (“washing the dirty money”). It is called “money laundering” because the process “washes dirty money” to make it look clean. Oftentimes, the “washed” transaction purchases lavish items such as jewelry, real estate, or cars. Fraud conspiracy charges are often filed under 18 U.S.C. § 1349 and can include allegations of a criminal agreement to commit mortgage fraud, Ponzi schemes, investment fraud, or telemarketing fraud.

UNDERSTANDING FEDERAL CONSPIRACY CHARGES

Conspiracy laws do not even require that the two people meet or interact – as long as they know the other person was doing something to further the conspiracy. This is common in complex, sprawling conspiracies where a central person(s) is coordinating numerous other individuals.

Conspiracy charges can be defended. Conspiracies can be carried to overreaching lengths by federal prosecutors who charge someone with no knowledge of the illicit purpose of an agreement. Additionally, a very minor participant in a conspiracy can be swept up in the same case as someone who is much more responsible for criminal conduct. That minor participant can face the same severe mandatory minimum sentences as the managers of the conspiracy.
