“Because, by definition, money laundering involves the proceeds of unlawful activity, it is well settled that the transaction charged as money laundering cannot be the same transaction through which the funds became tainted by crime. See United States v. Napoli, 54 F.3d 68, 68 (2d Cir.1995), abrogated on other grounds by U.S. Sentencing Guidelines as stated in United States v. Genao, 343 F.3d 578, 584 (2d Cir.2003); see also United States v. Hall, 613 F.3d 249, 254 (D.C.Cir.2010) [cert. denied, 562 U.S. 1223 , 131 S.Ct. 1471 , 179 L.Ed.2d 313 (2011) ] (“The offense of money laundering must be separate and distinct from the underlying offense that generated the money to be laundered.” (collecting cases)); United States v. Trejo, 610 F.3d 308 , No. 07-40216, [sic] 610 F.3d 308, 318 (5th Cir.2010) (rejecting argument on money laundering count that would “run afoul of Congressional intent to create an offense distinct from the underlying crime that generated the dirty money in the first place”).”
