A Caribbean-based lawyer charged in a sting operation pleaded guilty to helping launder what he was told were proceeds of a bank fraud designed to hide $2 million from U.S. tax officials, according to the Justice Department.
Patrick Poulin, 41, appeared today in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia. He pleaded guilty to conspiring to launder monetary instruments, a crime which two investment advisers, Joshua Vandyk, 34, and Eric St-Cyr, 50, admitted last month. The three were indicted on March 6.
