Reilly 06/25/2020 [B]Jack Abramoff[/B], perhaps the most infamous lobbyist in the world and one of the faces of George W. Bush-era corruption, is facing new federal charges in connection with a lobbying and wire fraud scheme involving a new cryptocurrency called AML Bitcoin. Abramoff was charged by criminal information in connection with the indictment of [B]Rowland Marcus Andrade[/B]. As part of the scheme, according to federal prosecutors, Andrade claimed they had technology that “would allow the AML Bitcoin cryptocurrency to comply with anti-money laundering and know-your-customer laws and regulations.” A Justice Department press release said that Abramoff “has filed a stipulated notice of an intent to change plea pursuant to a plea agreement,” signaling that Abramoff will likely plead guilty in the case. The criminal information claimed that Abramoff “made false and misleading statements to an undercover agent posing as a potential large purchaser of AML Bitcoin.” The feds allege he also worked for a California company in the marijuana industry but never registered as a lobbyist. An undercover FBI agent posing as a businessman met with Abramoff in April 2017, and entered into a lobbying agreement months later. After setting up the agreement, Abramoff reportedly had contacts with a member of Congress and “raised topics related to the legislative goals discussed with the undercover agent, including during a meeting that included the member of Congress in or about July 2018.” [/QUOTE]
