Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

A public listed company takes services from Vendor A and Vendor B.

Vendor A is paid for the services by Vendor B in cash. That is his black money and then Vendor B raises inflated invoices to the listed company and gets paid for his services and also the amount he paid in cash to Vendor A

is this fraud or a crime

does this amount to money laundering as the company is helping vendor B to convert his black money

Your question is really not that clear and it certainly did not suggest a fraud or crime. We would have to understand what the relationship was between the company and the vendors then Va and Vb. All you said is that B paid A and then sent invoices to the company that were inflated I assume you mean beyond what A was paid. This is how subcontracting works.

If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.

Our firm is now referred by the American Bar Association (see under the New York section):
