    Question about the "affluenza" teen case

    So I was just reading an article about the mother of the "affluenza" teen and the charges being brought against her. One of the charges is money laundering because of the $30,000 used to leave the country. Why would this charge apply? (the article didn't explain) My understanding was it was her own money being used. Is it money laundering then, if money is used to commit a crime?

    Giving money to someone to commit a crime is a form of money laundering. Money laundering actually includes a wide range of activities.

      Makes sense...so it was probably not her use (or just her use) of the money but giving it to her son to use also?
