Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the predicate fraud lacked arglist, so no predicate crime for money laundering existed.
Decisione estratta
The fraud predicate was established; the bank was not grossly negligent and the forged fax made the deception arglistic.
Motivazione estratta
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.
