Rush's first set of felonies involves multiple bank withdrawals in excess of $10,000 without reporting them.
Show me where that's true. It is the bank's responsibility to make the report, not the customer.
Rush's second set of felonies involves sequential multiple bank withdrawals just under $10,000 with the expressed purpose of avoiding reporting requirements. What makes this illegal is the conspiracy to deliberately avoid the reporting requirements. Without the intent to avoid the reporting its not a crime, but its clear Mr. Limbaugh was willfully misusing the reporting threshold.
You can withdraw $9999 every day as long as you use the money for legal purposes. His problem will be when/if they tie the withdrawals directly to illegal drug purchases.
Rush's third set of felonies involves the act of avoiding reporting requirements in order to commit another crime...in this the illegal purchase of controled substances. Its this step that equates the repetitive non-reported withdrawal of cash to "money laundering." The bank reporting requirements exist precisely to aid criminal investigators in documenting and proving racketeering crimes.
No difference in this and your second set of felonies.
Rush's fourth set of felonies involves the multiple purchases (in the hundreds of transactions) of controled substances. Each purchase constitutes a distinct and seperate felony crime.
Rush's fifth set of felonies involves the illegal sonsumption and use of controled substances.
I believe that both of these offenses are State crimes. Whether there one or a thousand transactions, they were, I understand, for personal consumption and they were in total a first offense. You will not like how light he COULD (not will) get off on this.
Frankly, if these potential charges hold true, Mr. Limbaugh is toast.
Could be but you are probably going to be agonizing about it for a long time.
