told M.H. how to circumvent financial institution reporting requirements by keeping deposits under $9,500,

and directed M.H. to lie to financial institutions about the purpose of the business:

Over the course of about a year, Mr. Hopkins conducted 37 transactions with M.H., converting between $550,000 and $1.5 million, he said.

Hopkins admitted he ran a money transmitting business as his main source of income, primarily providing customers with Bitcoin cryptocurrency. He advertised his services on platforms like Localbitcoins.com and Paxful.com.

Hopkins communicated directly with M.H. and the co-conspirator but never asked for the latter’s identification, despite knowing he was located in Nigeria.
