I have only seen press speculation (none / 0) (#13)

and the court documents available on-line.  Those do not indicate any structuring - if there was a sexual encounter, the price therefor would have been, given "Kristen's" alleged rates, less than should have triggered a structuring inquiry.

this isn't difficult (none / 0) (#16)

  Structuring essentially means arranging a series of transactions to evade reporting requirements which are triggered when a transaction is 10K or greater. Several sources have reported the Feds have evidence he did  engage in a series of transactions, each a transfer to the front for the pimps,  the aggregate of which is greater than 10K.

  That could be the basis for the structuring charge. His lack of intent would be a defense and likely a very good one, but in this world you don't have a divine right to have no charges brought just because you say you lacked intent.
