began cooperating with federal authorities. In January 2008, L.T. infonned federal

authorities thatAlonzo Ramos, the defendant, came to the jail in Louisiana from Texas to

visit him unexpectedly. Ramos is an attorney from Laredo, Texas. L.T. explained that

Ramos visited him to make sure that L.T. was not cooperating with the authorities.

Consequently, federal authorities began recording phone calls between L.T. and Ramos in

February 2008.

On March 5, 2008, Ramos and L.T. spoke in a recorded telephone call. Ramos

offered to facilitate a monetary payment that was the proceeds of unlawful activity - drug

trafficking - to L.T. In a subsequent call that day, Ramos and L.T. discussed putting a

relative ofL.T. in touch with Ramos to receive the payment. Ramos also promised to

travel from Texas to Louisiana to visit L.T. later that week.

On March 7. 2008, as described in Count One of the pending information, Ramos

traveled to Louisiana from Texas with the intent to distribute the proceeds of an unlawful

activity, namely, a business enterprise involving the trafficking of controlled substances,

and thereafterhe performed and attempted to perform an act to distribute the proceeds of

such unlawful activity. Specifically, Ramos traveled from Texas to Louisiana via a

commercial airline flight, traveling through and stopping in theNorthern District of

proceeds. This meeting was audio/video-recordedby federal law enforcement officers.

During the meeting, Ramos informedL.T. that he had received $48,500, which were drug

trafficking proceeds, and that he had the moneyat his house in Laredo. Ramos and L.T.

then discussed the details ofhow the money would be transferred to L.T. Ramos agreed

to give the money to L.T:s relative.

On March 12,2008, L.T. confirmed to Ramos in a recorded telephone call that he

wanted Ramos to deliver the money to his relative. Ramos told L.T. to have his relative

contact him. Unbeknownst to Ramos, L.T.'s relative was also cooperating with federal

law enforcement officers. On March 13,2008; L.T.'s relative contacted Ramos via

telephone. The phone call was recorded. Ramos instructedL.T.'s relative to meet him at

a location in Laredo; Texas. Later that day, Ramos gave L.T.'s relative the $48,500at the
