A jury spent four hours before deciding Beidler helped convicted drug dealer Wendell Wood hide his drug profits from the government.
However, the panel acquitted Beidler of eight related charges.
Prosecutors say Beidler funneled 100 thousand dollars of Wood's money into an Amherst real estate development.
Beidler avoided reporting the transactions to the government by making small deposits into several different bank accounts.
Beidler claimed he never knew the source of Wood's money and was only trying to protect his friend's privacy.
He'll be sentenced at a later date.
