Federal prosecutors claim Bhagavan 'Doc' Antle and one of his employees at Myrtle Beach Safari laundered $505,000 (£402,990) over a four-month period by doling out cheques from businesses they controlled.
Authorities say Antle and Sawyer both face a maximum of 20 years in federal prison if convicted.
Antle stars in Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness - a 2020 Netflix documentary miniseries that featured tiger breeders and private zoo operators in the US. Oklahoma zoo operator Joe Exotic was the focal point of the series and was also targeted for animal mistreatment, as well as being convicted over a plot to kill a rival, Carole Baskin.Animal rights advocates have also accused Antle of mistreating lions and other wildlife, and he was charged in Virginia in 2020 for animal cruelty and wildlife trafficking.
Separately, Antle is facing two charges of wildlife trafficking and conspiracy to traffic wildlife, as well as 13 counts of conspiracy to violate the Endangered Species Act and animal cruelty charges tied to trafficking lion cubs.The 62-year-old has a history of convictions going as far back as 1989, when he was fined for abandoning deer and peacocks at his zoo in Virginia by the US department of agriculture.
