SACRAMENTO — A Stockton pair were sentenced Friday to federal prison for illegally sending large amounts of money to Cambodia and other charges, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Sacramento announced.
Serey Van, 32, received two years and seven months in prison, and her boyfriend Thanh Tan Van, also known as Thomas Van, 42, will spend 1-1/2 years in prison under the sentence ordered by U.S. District Court Judge Edward J. Garcia.
In the scheme, federal prosecutors accused the pair of transferring more than $1 million in 2004 and 2005 to Cambodia through March Lane Pure Water and Best Money Express. They didn’t have the proper license or report it to the government, as the law requires.
They also repeatedly deposited sums just under $10,000 at a time into a Stockton branch of Wells Fargo bank to avoid having their transactions reported to the federal government, prosecutors said.
Thomas Van admitted he knew the transactions were illegal, prosecutors said.
The pair also have to forfeit more than $230,000 seized from their businesses. Serey Van will have to spend two years under supervised release after leaving prison, and Thomas Van will be supervised for one year, prosecutors said.

Extradite them to Cambodia and place under Oxfam rehabilitative program.
The pair is financial prodigy
The US need a lot o money to finance Iraq war that why they are not letting off these people who are sending out the green bag.
Canada is letting money out free excepted the narcotic money laundering.
What they have done is illegal,that's why.
They must have been pretty stupid too. If they had started a business for investment, they could have done it legally.
