Just a reminder that there are shady and dangerous activities going on across borders. A wall might not be able to help this particular case, but it would help many others.

New York Lawyer Pleads Guilty To Over $9 Million In Illegal Money Transfers Between The U.S. And Mexico


Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and Angel M. Melendez, Special Agent in Charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (“HSI”), announced today that IGNACIO FONCILLAS pled guilty to operating an unlicensed money transmitting business in connection with his transfer of over $9 million between the United States and Mexico. This illegal scheme allowed FONCILLAS’s customers to secretly send money to Mexico while avoiding anti-money laundering safeguards and obligations imposed upon legal money services businesses. FONCILLAS surrendered to federal agents this morning and his plea was taken by U.S. District Judge George B. Daniels.

U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said: “As he admitted today, Ignacio Foncillas, an attorney, established an illegal money transmitting service between the U.S. and Mexico. Foncillas did not register his company with FinCEN, the regulatory agency that oversees the U.S. financial system and reports suspicious financial transactions. Attempts by individuals or corporations to circumvent their regulatory obligations will be met with swift justice.”

HSI Special Agent in Charge Angel M. Melendez said: “Foncillas operated a transnational money transmitting business, moving millions without ever ensuring he had the proper licensing. The movement of money is regulated to limit fraudulent and criminal activity, which is why law enforcement is paying close attention to those operating without a license, and looking even more closely at money transactions crossing borders.”

According to the Information and statements made during proceedings in Manhattan federal court:

The issue is the laundering itself across a border which is the most illegally breached in the world, often with runners and other criminal elements. How many more laundering schemes are going on to fund these illegal activities?

Build the wall and at least keep those who do not enter legally, away from your citizens.

But is a wall the best way of stopping such things? No, probably not. It's an expensive way, that's rather showy, but could be done in a much cheaper way and a much more effective way.
