Question

What does a charge of structure transaction mean? What kind of sentence does one usually get with this type of charge?

Answer

If you are talking about a federal structuring charge, it generally involves making financial transactions in a way to avoid reporting requirements. A common example is making multiple cash bank deposits under $10,000 to avoid reporting transaction over $10,000.

This is a very serious charge and in the federal system the penalty is often based on the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, a complicated formula that looks at the crime and the history of the offender among other factors.
