-
Is an indictment constructively amendment, warranting reversal of a conviction, when the indictment relies on one specific statutory basis for jurisdiction (31 U.S.C. § 5312(a)(2)(V)), but the (objected to) jury instructions and evidence allows for a conviction on two alternative statutory basis for jurisdiction (31 U.S.C. § 5312(a)(2)(V) and § 5312(a)(2)(K))?
