New Jersey Man Gets 92 Months for Drug-Money Laundering

New Jersey Man Gets 92 Months for Drug-Money Laundering

News came recently that a man from Morristown, New Jersey, was given a 92-month prison sentence after being found guilty of laundering drug money, sources say. The announcement came from the office of U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman, who prosecuted the case. The man had been depositing small amounts of money into widely-scattered bank accounts across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and North Carolina. The man’s brother had also been sentenced to 75 months for his role in a heroin ring.

Though most people aren’t going to get busted laundering money for drugs, this is a sobering example of how drugs can impact people’s lives. If you’re using drugs, it could be you getting that prison sentence—and then what would happen to you? 92 months is more than 7 1/2 years. What would happen to your family and friends? It’s true that drugs ruin lives, whether you’re a user, dealer, or money launderer. If you’ve been using drugs, now is the best time to get clean.

If you have a problem with alcohol or drug abuse or know someone who does, you should seek help now for yourself or your loved one. Thankfully, there is good help available. Detoxification and behavioral therapy have proven to be effective in treating drug dependence. Addicts are often unable to complete treatment on their own or with family members, so it’s very important to seek the right treatment center.
