1Opinion of the Court
BUCKLEY, Circuit Judge:
Charles Wynn was convicted of 34 counts of money laundering and related offenses following a three-week jury trial in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. On appeal, he challenges the sufficiency of the evidence against him. For the reasons described below, we affirm 32 of Wynn’s convictions but reverse his two convictions for illegally structuring financial transactions, in violation of 31 U.S.C. § 5324(a)(3), because the Government failed to offer any evidence to support one essential element of that crime.
