United States Second Circuit

A single money laundering count under 18 U.S.C. section 1956 can encompass multiple acts, provided that each act is part of a unified scheme; thus, an indictment charging money laundering as a continuing offense, such as the indictment here, states an offense which is cognizable in the sense of charging conduct made illegal by statute.
