EUGENE, Ore. – A brazen money laundering scheme orchestrated by a Lane County marijuana dealer has finally seen the perpetrator brought to justice. Eric Scully, 32, pleaded guilty to engaging in money laundering and using a fictitious name on a U.S. Postal Service shipping account on September 8, 2016.
According to a plea agreement, Scully admitted to engaging in a monetary transaction involving more than $10,000 of criminally derived proceeds, as well as creating a fictitious U.S.P.S. Click-N-Ship account for use in shipping packages of marijuana to multiple states.
The operation, which involved growing large quantities of marijuana in Eugene and then illegally distributing it through a covert mail operation, ultimately led to Scully using the unlawful proceeds gained from interstate marijuana sales to amass a variety of assets that will be criminally forfeited to the government as part of the plea agreement.
Also charged in the case are Joan Scully, 62, and Krystin Livingston, 34, of Lane County. Joan Scully pleaded guilty to structuring deposits of drug proceeds to avoid financial reporting requirements, and Livingston pleaded guilty to using the fictitious U.S.P.S. shipping account.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Interagency Narcotics Enforcement Team (INET), along with assistance from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, investigated this case. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Nancy M. Olson.
Scully faces a statutory maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for the money laundering count, and up to five years for the fictitious name count.
