Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Money Laundering; Evidence
Defendant was co-owner of medical transportation company, using an alias and operating company under different name as Defendant and co-owners were, per agreement with federal government, permanently barred from participating in Medicare and federal and state health care programs. Evidence was sufficient to convict Defendant of vendor fraud, theft, and money laundering. Court erred when it used evidence of company's receipts for transactions with State, rather than profits, to find Defendant guilty of money laundering; thus, remanded for new trial on that offense, and for resentencing.
