   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-2176
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Arnold and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law. There was a factual basis for defendant's guilty plea to the charge of conspiracy to distribute synthetic drugs as he knew that the substances he possessed were controlled substances; there was also a factual basis for his plea on a money-laundering conspiracy charge as the district court could reasonably conclude on the basis of the record that there was tacit understanding between defendant and his suppliers to launder money.
