Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit August 25, 2006, 04-4221, 05-2316 (Efrain Santos and Benedicto Diaz v. United States)

MANION, Circuit Judge.

Efrain Santos and Benedicto Diaz ran an illicit lottery, which landed them in federal prison on money laundering charges. Their money laundering convictions were premised upon the word “proceeds” in 18 U.S.C. § 1956(a)(1) meaning gross income of unlawful activity. This court affirmed the judgments against them in

United States v. Febus,

218 F.3d 784 (7th Cir.2000).
