What maximum prison sentence did co-conspirator Florencio Rendon face under his guilty plea for conspiracy to commit money laundering?

Question

Accepted Answer

Florencio Rendon pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering and faced up to 20 years in federal prison under federal sentencing guidelines, though actual sentences are often lower. Colin Strother faced up to 5 years. Both agreed to cooperate with DOJ prosecutors, which typically results in reduced sentences. Under 18 U.S.C. § 1956, money laundering—concealing the source or destination of illicitly-obtained funds—carries severe penalties. Rendon admitted to funneling money to Imelda Cuellar through sham consulting arrangements, eventually realizing "the fuel company project was a sham."
