德州男子在波士顿认罪：冒充业主卖地洗钱逾150万美元，2027年2月量刑
美国司法部11月4日宣布，一名德克萨斯州男子已在位于马萨诸塞州波士顿（Boston）的联邦法院认罪，其参与的骗局是冒充土地业主出售他人土地、再清洗赃款，涉案欺诈性房产销售金额逾150万美元。
被告 Moshe Levi，现年61岁，住德克萨斯州 Carrollton，他于11月3日承认电汇诈骗共谋与洗钱共谋两项罪名。联邦地区法官 Myong J. Joun 已定于2027年2月11日量刑。Levi 与另两名同案被告于2026年7月一同被起诉；司法部提醒，对其余被告的指控目前只是指控，未经法庭证明有罪前推定无罪。
据法庭文件，Levi 与同伙专挑马萨诸塞州、佐治亚州、印第安纳州与田纳西州境内空置、无抵押且业主住在外州的房产下手：他们以业主名义开设电子邮箱与网络电话账户，伪造驾驶证、护照等身份证件，再冒充登记业主，诱使地产经纪把房产挂牌出售、过户给不知情的买家并收取房款。约自2023年6月以来，Levi 等人分成或试图分成的非法所得约100万美元。
赃款清洗方面，Levi 等人通过其控制的个人与公司银行账户，以支票与电汇等方式转移欺诈销售所得，意图掩盖资金的性质、所在地、来源、所有权与控制关系。按法律，电汇诈骗共谋最高可判20年监禁、3年监督释放与25万美元罚款（或犯罪所得、损失两倍金额中较高者）；洗钱共谋最高可判20年监禁、3年监督释放与50万美元罚款（或涉案交易金额两倍中较高者），实际刑期由联邦地区法官依量刑指南与相关法律裁定。
此案由马萨诸塞区联邦检察官 Leah B. Foley 与联邦调查局（FBI）波士顿分局局长 Ted E. Docks 宣布，证券、金融与网络诈骗组组长、助理联邦检察官 Seth B. Kosto 负责起诉。

Texas Man Pleads Guilty in Boston: Deed Fraud and Money Laundering Scheme Topped $1.5 Million, Sentencing Set for February 2027
A Texas man has pleaded guilty in federal court in Boston, Massachusetts, for his role in a scheme that impersonated property owners, sold their land and laundered the proceeds, the U.S. Department of Justice announced on November 4. The scheme involved more than $1.5 million in fraudulent property sales.
Moshe Levi, 61, of Carrollton, Texas, pleaded guilty on November 3 to wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy. U.S. District Court Judge Myong J. Joun scheduled sentencing for February 11, 2027. Levi was charged along with two co-defendants in July 2026; the charges against the remaining defendants are allegations, and they are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
According to court filings, Levi and his co-conspirators targeted vacant and unencumbered properties in Massachusetts, Georgia, Indiana and Tennessee owned by people who lived out of state. They established email and internet telephony accounts and obtained fake identifications, including driver's licenses and passports, in the owners' names, then impersonated the record owners to trick real estate professionals into listing and selling the properties to unsuspecting buyers. Since about June 2023, Levi and others allegedly shared, and attempted to share, roughly $1 million in illegal proceeds.
To launder the money, the conspirators moved the proceeds of the fraudulent sales by check and wire transfer through individual and corporate bank accounts they controlled, intending to conceal the nature, location, source, ownership and control of the funds. Wire fraud conspiracy carries up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000 or twice the gross gain or loss, whichever is greater; money laundering conspiracy carries up to 20 years, three years of supervised release and a fine of $500,000 or twice the value of the transactions, whichever is greater. Actual sentences are set by a federal district judge under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines.
U.S. Attorney Leah B. Foley for the District of Massachusetts and Ted E. Docks, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Boston Field Office, announced the plea. Assistant U.S. Attorney Seth B. Kosto, Chief of the Securities, Financial & Cyber Fraud Unit, is prosecuting the case.
