Bruce Bagley charged with money laundering

Yes, that Bruce Bagley. The professor of drug cartels and dirty money. Oh boy.

From the Herald:

A University of Miami professor who studies organized crime and drug cartels was accused Monday of engaging in a plot to launder millions in dirty money from Venezuela.

Federal prosecutors in New York announced Bruce Bagley, 73, was charged with money laundering and conspiracy after he “opened bank accounts for the express purpose of laundering money for corrupt foreign nationals.”

Bagley is a longtime UM international relations professor who wrote the book “Drug Trafficking, Organized Crime, and Violence in the Americas Today.” Over the years, Bagley has been a go-to quote for the media on topics including the failures of the U.S. war on drugs, violence in Haiti and, yes, corruption in Venezuela.

    Word is he will be able to charge up to a pack of cigarettes, or the chocolate pudding equivalent, for any filings he prepares on behalf of his fellow inmates.

    NG. So long as he hires somebody from not UM to represent him. FIU, ST, even Nova! Then Ava Maria followed by Florida Coastal.

    What are the odds if he hires a Harvard grad/former AUSA?

    Having now read the indictment, it appears the feds prob already have either texts to a conspirator or intercepted oral communications between bagley and the co-conspirator. Plus probably surveillance of withdrawals of the dirty $ in a clear pattern. Some of the $ came in huge monthly deposits from a UAE food company. LoL.

    I raise my bet of G...$1000 at 10 to 1 odds....
