Thomas Forehand liquidated his remaining investments and borrowed $25,000 from his parents to finance the $120,000 “loan” to John. True to his word, John delivered a large bundle of $100 bills held together with rubber bands as collateral for the loan. Fore nine months, John made the monthly payments on the first day of each month. But, in the spring of 2002, two FBI agents arrived at Forehand’s firm to tell him that Jones would not be making any further payments on the loan since he had been arrested for selling a variety of illegal drugs including marijuana and methamphetamines. The agent then informed Forehand that he was being charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering and aiding and abetting money laundering. Forehand was then handcuffed, read his Miranda rights, and taken to the local county courthouse to be arraigned.
