“She (Fuston) deposited the drug money into multiple accountsheld in her name at First Tech Federal Credit Union,” court documents state. “Shefurther admitted to establishing one of the accounts at First Techin her name for the sole purpose of storing those drug proceeds,and to breaking up the drug proceeds into multiple deposits becauseATMs could only accept a limited number of bills at a time.”
