OR

[(directed)(planed)(organized)(initiated)(financed)(managed)(supervised)(facilitated) the (transportation)(transfer) of proceeds that the defendant knew were derived from an activity]

OR

[conducted a financial transaction involving proceeds that the defendant knew were derived from an activity when the transaction was designed in whole or in part to ((conceal)(disguise) the (nature) (location) (source) (ownership)(control) of the proceeds)(to avoid a transaction reporting requirement under federal law)].

2. That the activity was unlawful under the laws of (the United States)(the state in which the activity occurred);

3. That the Defendant acted knowingly.

If you find from your consideration of the evidence that all of these elements have been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, then you should find the Defendant guilty.

If, on the other hand, you find from your consideration of all the evidence that any of these elements has not been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, then you should find the Defendant not guilty.
