This law targets organized theft rings that steal goods and move them across state lines to resell — think groups that systematically shoplift or hijack shipments rather than individual small-time theft. It lets prosecutors add up the value of stolen items over a whole year to bring charges, even if no single theft was large, and lets them also charge these thieves with money laundering and seize property bought with the stolen proceeds. It also closes a loophole by treating gift cards and prepaid cards used to launder stolen goods the same as cash for money-laundering charges. Finally, it sets up a temporary team inside the Department of Homeland Security (the federal agency that handles border security and domestic safety issues) to help different police and federal agencies coordinate their efforts against these theft rings.
