(b) Example 2: A typical FECA crime: laundered corporate contributions Factual Scenario: A corporate CEO contributes $50,000 in corporate funds to a federal candidate in violation of 52 U.S.C. § 30118 by laundering the money through thirteen conduits in violation of § 30122, twelve of whom gave $4,000, and one of whom gave $2,000. The defendant’s motive was to fulfill a pledge. The conduct results in one § 30118 felony violation under § 30109(d)(1)(A)(i) with an aggregate value of $50,000, and one § 30122 felony violation under § 30109(d)(1)(D)(i) involving the thirteen conduit transactions. The combined aggregate value of the defendant’s illegal conduct is $50,000. The conduct would be charged in two counts: one violation of § 30118 charged under § 30109(d)(1)(A)(i), and thirteen violations of § 30122 aggregated together as one offense charged under § 30109(d)(1)(D)(i). Total Offense Level: 14 Base Offense Level under § 2C1.8(a): 8 Enhancement for value between $40,000 and $95,000 under § 2B1.1(b)(1)(D): 6 Enhancement for number of illegal transactions under § 2C1.8(b)(4) (fourteen violations – one § 30118 corporate contribution crime and thirteen § 30122 conduit crimes): 0 187
