Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Money Laundering; Evidence
(Vacating judgment of 3/31/10.) Medical transportation company, which received $3 million but inflated bills to the State to $6 million, was properly prosecuted and convicted of vendor fraud and theft, as corporation acts through and is responsible for acts of its agents. State proved that Defendant company's de facto officers, who controlled company, committed vendor fraud, theft and money laundering in course of their work on behalf of company, and evidence supports convictions of company for all three crimes. Acquittal of nominal owner does not conflict with convictions of company for crimes charged. Court should have considered value of services company provided in determining amount of restitution. (SALONE and STERBA, concurring.)
