Chowdhury v. INS, 249 F.3d 970, 972-974 (9th Cir.
May 14, 2001) (federal conviction for money laundering $1,310
in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1956(a)(1)(A) did not constitute
an "aggravated felony," even though defendant was
ordered to pay $967,753.39 in restitution, because, under
INA § 101(a)(43)(D), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(D), the amount
of funds laundered must exceed $10,000).
