Dear : removed to protect the receiver of this email

The enclosed information is provided by the United States Department of Justice Victim Notification System (VNS). As a victim witness professional, my role is to assist you with information and services during the prosecution of this case. I am contacting you because you were identified by law enforcement as a victim during the investigation of the above criminal case.

Charges have been filed against defendant(s) Husam Tayeh. The lead prosecutor for this case is Jonathan Ross. The main charge is categorized as Money Laundering/Structuring (Other). The criminal charges in this case allege that beginning from at least January 2012, Husam Tayeh of Oak Lawn, Illinois with operating a fraudulent scheme involving foreign currency. The document containing the charges filed with the court has been posted to the VNS web site (see below) and is available from the Downloads/Links section of that site. Information concerning potential restitution in this case will be provided in the near future.

Victims of all crimes under federal investigation are entitled to services under the Victims' Rights and Restitution Act (VRRA), including notification of court events. For further details, please refer to Title 42 United States Code section 10607 or the VRRA link posted at https://www.notify.usdoj.gov.

Now that charges have been filed in federal court, victims of the charges filed are, in addition, entitled to the following rights, according to the Crime Victims' Rights Act, Title 18 United States Code section 3771: (1) The right to be reasonably protected from the accused; (2) The right to reasonable, accurate, and timely notice of any public court proceeding, or any parole proceeding, involving the crime or of any release or escape of the accused; (3) The right not to be excluded from any such public court proceeding, unless the court, after receiving clear and convincing evidence, determines that testimony by the victim would be materially altered if the victim heard other testimony at that proceeding; (4) The right to be reasonably heard at any public proceeding in the district court involving release, plea, sentencing, or any parole proceeding; (5) The reasonable right to confer with the attorney for the Government in the case; (6) The right to full and timely restitution as provided in law; (7) The right to proceedings free from unreasonable delay; (8) The right to be treated with fairness and with respect for the victim's dignity and privacy; (9) The right to be informed in a timely manner of any plea bargain or deferred prosecution agreement; and (10) The right to be informed of the rights under this section and the services described in section 503(c) of the Victims' Rights and Restitution Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 10607(c)) and provided contact information for the Office of the Victims' Rights Ombudsman of the Department of Justice.

Please understand that these rights apply only to victims of the counts charged in federal court, and thus you may not be able to exercise all of these rights if the crime of which you are a victim was not charged. In any event, we will continue to provide you with notifications and services unless you tell us not to. We will make our best efforts to ensure you are provided the rights and services to which you are entitled. You may contact the Victim/Witness Coordinator at the office listed above if you have questions about the progress of your case, your rights or the services to which you are entitled, or how you can assert them during the proceedings.

For more information, go to http://www.justice.gov/usao/resources/crime-victims-rights-ombudsman.

It is important to keep in mind that the defendant(s) are presumed innocent until proven guilty and that presumption requires both the Court and our office to take certain steps to ensure that justice is served.

Additionally, please be aware that most criminal cases are resolved by a plea agreement between the United States Attorney's Office and the defendant. You should also know that it is not unusual for a defendant to seek to negotiate a plea agreement shortly before a trial is scheduled to begin. Plea agreements can be made at any time and as late as the morning of trial, leaving little or no opportunity to provide notice to you of the date and time of the plea hearing. If the court schedules a plea hearing in this case, we will use our best efforts to notify you of available information as soon as practicable. If you want to inform the prosecutor of your views regarding potential plea agreements, or any other aspect of the case, please contact the prosecutor assigned to this case or me.

A hearing before Judge Terry Moorer is scheduled on July 11, 2016, 02:00 PM at Frank M. Johnson U.S. Courthouse Complex, One Church St., Montgomery, AL for the case which involves defendant(s) Husam Tayeh. The purpose of this hearing is for the defendant(s) to enter a plea of guilty. Your attendance is not required. If you are a victim of the charged offense(s) and wish to speak at the plea hearing, please call our office well in advance of the scheduled hearing date.

Because of the Court's schedule, hearing dates could change on very short notice. If you plan on attending, you may want to call the VNS Call Center or check the website to confirm the date and time. Please note, there is a 24-hour delay in information transfer to the website.

South Dakota man pleads guilty to evading reporting requirements for importing foreign currency

Will forfeit assets worth $1.2 million

05/21/2013

RAPID CITY, S.D. – A western South Dakota man pleaded guilty in federal court Friday to evading federal reporting requirements for importing foreign currency. As part of a plea agreement he will forfeit currency and assets with an estimated value of $1.2 million.

This guilty plea resulted from an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation (IRS CI), with the cooperation of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Lead, S.D., Police Department.

David Olmsted, aka Dale Cooper Jr., 60, of Lead, S.D., pleaded guilty to evading reporting requirements for foreign currency transactions. According to court records, Olmsted will forfeit assets and currency worth at least $1.2 million, to include:

$290,000 in bank accounts,
about 449,000,000 Iraqi dinars (valued at $404,000), and
about $500,000 in vehicles, collectible coins, and additional substitute assets.

Olmsted may also be required to pay restitution to his financial investors.

According to court documents, Olmsted arranged for shipments of Iraqi dinars, the country’s currency, to be sent from the country of Jordan to the United States in split shipments in February 2011. He had previously been federally licensed to conduct foreign currency transactions in 2004 and 2006, but his license lapsed in 2008. Also, importing Iraqi currency is against federal law.

Federal law also requires the reporting of all transactions exceeding $10,000. Olmsted illegally split the shipments to avoid exceeding that amount, and to avoid having to report the shipments to the U.S. Department of Treasury. He always had these shipments sent to residential addresses, rather than those of his businesses.

In addition, he solicited investors to fund his activities in a convoluted financial scam, whereby he promised to convert U.S. currency to dinars by selling and buying jewelry and collectible coins. He promised significant returns on the exchange of dinars for dollars to his investors.

Olmsted funneled the illicit proceeds through business and personal bank accounts in South Dakota and Wyoming. He used the proceeds from his scam to finance Internet sales and purchases of foreign currency, jewelry and collectible coins via two businesses he previously owned: Black Hills President’s Park, and the Iraqi Dinar Financial Group, both based out of his home.

In addition to the forfeiture of his assets, the maximum penalty upon conviction is five years’ imprisonment and/or a $250,000 fine. A pre-sentence investigation was ordered and a sentencing date was set for Sept. 13. Olmsted was released on bond pending sentencing.
