Legal Question in Business Law in Washington
Money Laundering
I recieved a message in my email about an off shore company that has checks sent to people, we cash them and keep 6%, and western union the rest to them. In one email I asked if it was legal and they stated that ''our business is in full concordance with U.S. criminal law and legal tax liabilities. (Internal revenue service)'' they even sent me an employee agreement form. I was just wondering if this is legal or not.

Re: Money Laundering
As I often say in answering legal questions, "it depends". This scheme sounds like money laundering which could be a federal felony. If these checks are legitimate, why can't they just deposit them or cash them, hmm? This coul dalso be a scam to get you to disclose your bank account or other confidential information. I would have an attorney review this whole situation carefully before you get involved in it. I woul dalso check with the Postal Inspectors on this one also. Good Luck!
