GEORGETOWN COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) - A U.S. district judge has sentenced a Murrells Inlet man to just over a year in prison after he pled guilty to money laundering.
57-year-old William Dallis will spend a year and one day in federal prison, to be followed by a three-year term of court-ordered supervision.
Evidence presented in this case showed that between June 2021 and April 2022, Dallis conducted cash transactions with money believed to be obtained from “transporting and harboring illegal aliens,” according to the Department of Justice.
Dallis concealed the origin of the money by depositing the cash into a bank account he controlled and then writing a check to the person who gave him the cash minus a percentage for his fees.
The DOJ said evidence showed he received about $560,000 in cash during that time.
As part of his plea agreement with the government, he forfeited approximately $75,000.
The FBI Columbia field office investigated this case.
