2. Money Laundering
Mr. Zaban engaged in two different schemes to launder the
money he obtained from his illegal gambling and bookmaking
activities. The first scheme involved alleged loan payments to Mr.
Fidati. Mr. Zaban gave Mr. Fidati $4,000 per month in cash during
1986, 1987, and 1988, and Mr. Fidati repaid Mr. Zaban by writing
two checks in odd amounts, totaling $4,000 per month, payable to
either Mr. Zaban or Zaban Enterprises. This scheme was the basis
for the money laundering charge to which Mr. Zaban pled guilty.
As part of her role in Zaban Enterprises, Mrs. Zaban often
deposited checks into the entity's account, including those from
Mr. Fidati, and in turn wrote salary and distribution checks to her
husband from that account. The amounts of the checks to Mr. Zaban
were based on a schedule prepared by Mr. Fidati. Mrs. Zaban
understood the checks from Mr. Fidati to Zaban Enterprises to
represent loan repayments to Mr. Zaban, but she never questioned
the odd amounts of the repayments.
