Question juridique clé
Whether the predicate fraud lacked arglist, so no predicate crime for money laundering existed.
Solution extraite
The fraud predicate was established; the bank was not grossly negligent and the forged fax made the deception arglistic.
Motifs extraits
Arglist exists where the offender relies on forged documents and the victim takes basic precautions; the bank verified the signature with a known signature card and a superior before executing the order.
