DeMOSS, Circuit Judge:
A preacher and his financial advisor were caught in a government sting designed to snare money launderers. Both raised entrapment at trial, but the jury rejected the defense and they were convicted of laundering drug proceeds. Because the government failed to prove that the preacher was likely to engage in money laundering absent the government's conduct, we hold that he was entrapped as a matter of law.
