The Court upheld the trial judge's findings that the appellant knowingly concealed the true beneficiary by registering and operating accounts for another, rejected the appellant's exculpatory explanations after detailed credibility findings, and applied the two‑stage Harjani test to conclude that a reasonable person with the appellant's knowledge would have been bound to believe the funds were proceeds of crime; accordingly the convictions on Charges 5 and 9 were safe and the appeal was dismissed.
