Dallas Attorney Charged in Narcotics Money Laundering Scheme
A Dallas lawyer has been charged with laundering what he believed to be proceeds of narcotics trafficking, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Prerak Shah.
Rayshun Jackson, the 51-year-old attorney at the helm of The Jackson Law Firm, was arrested Wednesday, charged via criminal complaint with money laundering. He made his initial appearance in federal court Friday morning. Attorneys swear an oath to conduct themselves with integrity and uphold the rule of law. Mr. Jackson instead chose to ignore his oath by allegedly laundering money for purported narcotics dealers, said Acting U.S. Attorney Prerak Shah. He explicitly instructed them on how to further violate the law and profit from the devastation of our nation s opioid epidemic, lining his own pockets in the process. He will now have to face the consequences of his actions.
