Page 1 of 39 VERIFICATION AND AFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT OF COMPLAINT I, Michael Bush, being duly sworn, depose and state: I. INTRODUCTION 1. I have been a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation for over twenty- four years. I am currently a ssigned to the Dayton Resident Agency of the Cincinnati Field Division. In connection with my off icial duties, I investigate violations of Federal criminal laws, to include white collar crime matters, which include offenses involving fraud by wire (18 U.S.C. §1343), money laundering (18 U.S.C. §1956 and 1957), and conspiracy to commit such violations (18 U.S.C. §1349). I have participated in the execution of numerous search and seizure warrants. These warrants have included the search of businesses and residences of individuals involved with fraudulent schemes including wire fraud, embez zlement, money laundering and tax evasion. I have al so received additional specialized training in money laundering and asset forfeiture. 2. Based on my training, experience and participation in financial investigations, and based upon the experience and knowledge of other agents and officers of the Southern Ohio Electronic and Financial Crimes Task Force, who were involved with this investigation from its onset, I know that individuals who receive funds from a particular crime: a. will attempt to legitimize the proceeds of the crime by depositing the funds into bank accounts in nominee names. These individuals will often launder the funds through these nominee bank accounts in an attempt to further conceal the disposition of the funds. b. will attempt to conceal the disposition of these funds by purchasing personal assets with cash. These individuals use, control and maintain these assets in their residences and will maintain receipts from these assets in their residences. These documents include car titles and deeds. c. it is common practice for such persons to hide their assets, their addresses, and their telephone services by using other people s names in order to avoid discovery by law enforcement officials; d. it is common practice that such persons utilize vehicles registered to witting and unwitting associates as a means of evading th e detection of law enforcement; e. it is common practice that such persons maintain residences which are used as stash houses or locations for narcotics storage and d istribution as well as use nominees to obtain telephone service, utility service, et cetera, at these locations; Case: 3:14-cv-00381-TMR Doc #: 1-1 Filed: 11/03/14 Page: 1 of 39 PAGEID #: 8
