Jurisprudence

A man accused of conspiring to launder illegal drug and gambling proceeds tried to avoid taxes by disguising gambling winnings as a loan from Michael Jordan, according to a federal court document in Charlotte, N.C. The documents were filed March 10 in federal court by U.S. Atty. Tom Ashcraft in an attempt to recover $57,000 that James Bouler says he got from the Chicago Bulls’ star. Jordan and Bouler have said the money was a loan to help Bouler pay for a golf driving range.
