U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken on Tuesday also ordered Jose Amezcua to perform 500 hours of community service as part of a five-year term of probation.
The 45-year-old acknowledged serving as a wire transfer agent in 2005 for a man who represented himself as a drug dealer and wanted $10,400 sent to Mexico. Prosecutors say Amezcua structured the transaction into four wire transfers ranging from $2,400 to $2,800 each.
