Rush Limbaugh arrested, makes deal. If he keeps receiving drug treatment, they'll drop the charges in 2 1/2 years. It's tough to be a rich white guy in trouble, let me tell you.

I do wonder if his legal woes are over, though. This sweetheart deal, as I understand it, only covers state charges. Limbaugh allegedly used structured withdrawals to get the cash for his drugs, while avoiding reporting guidelines designed to catch money launderers. Taking money out of the bank in a series of smaller withdrawals, to avoid the $10,000 reporting threshold for cash transactions, is a crime. It doesn't matter why you did it. No criminal intent needs to be proven, beyond the desire to avoid the filing of a CTR by the bank. And it is a crime that in the past has been vigorously enforced. So I don't know if Limbaugh has a deal that would cover any federal crimes, but if not, he might have more problems down the line.
