1Opinion of the Court
MESKILL, Circuit Judge.
This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction after a jury trial in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Leisure, J. The primary issue we consider is whether the doctrine of conscious avoidance applies to the money laundering charge in this case arising out of a government sting operation. We hold that it does.
The doctrine of conscious avoidance is indeed susceptible of several well-founded attacks. 1 Nektalov’s is not one of them. Rejecting this and Nektalov’s other challenges, we affirm the judgment of conviction and sentence.
