A man named Robert Johnson was convicted of violating the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 for being involved in a fraudulent scheme that defrauded investors out of millions of dollars. He was found guilty of using wire fraud to promote unlawful activity and was sentenced to prison. He appealed this conviction, arguing that some of the evidence against him was not admissible and that his sentence was too harsh.
The most relevant facts to the court's analysis included the details of how Johnson obtained and used the money from the fraudulent scheme, the legal definitions of money laundering and wire fraud, and the rules for what evidence can be used in a trial.
