What Is Money Laundering in California?

Money laundering under PC 186.10 involves conducting financial transactions with proceeds from criminal activity to conceal their origin. Federal charges under 18 U.S.C. § 1956 apply when the transactions cross state lines or involve federal institutions. Money laundering is almost never charged alone — it typically accompanies drug trafficking, fraud, or organized crime charges. This means the bail is high, the PC 1275 hold is almost certain, and the documentation requirements are extensive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will there be a PC 1275 hold on a money laundering case?

Almost certainly. The prosecution argues that every dollar you have access to may be proceeds of criminal activity. Getting the hold lifted requires a hearing with documented proof of the source of funds — bank statements, employment records, property history, business records.

What if money laundering is charged alongside drug or fraud charges?

Bail is typically set on the most serious charge or the aggregate. Chad handles multi-charge cases and knows how to structure the bond when multiple counts are stacked.

Can Chad handle federal money laundering bonds?

Yes. Federal money laundering under 18 U.S.C. § 1956 is handled by a federal magistrate. Chad is licensed for federal bonds in Southern California and knows the faster timeline and stricter documentation requirements.

Back to White-Collar Bail Bonds

The bond is just the start. Chad stays with you.

Price matters. But a lot of bail companies are salespeople sitting at a desk. They sell you the bond on the phone that night, and after that you get passed from department to department. With Chad, the same person who writes your bond is the one who picks up when something comes up.

Call Chad right away. We help you get back on the court calendar and get it fixed before it gets worse.

Bail raised, or charges added?

A real example (name changed)

Fred missed his court date, and he still owed a balance. Chad helped him anyway. He stayed up late with him and put together the paperwork to ask the court to reinstate his bond. On the way to court, Fred's car broke down and got towed, with the paperwork inside. So Chad did it all over again, and Fred came by the office to pick up a new set.

You could roll the dice on whoever quotes the cheapest bond on the phone. Or you could have a bondsman who picks up when it really matters.
