Questions presented
-
Is proof of misrepresentations by a defendant in 2014 alone sufficient to establish that wire transfers occurring years later in 2016 and 2017 were “for the purpose of executing” a scheme to defraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343 or does “wire fraud” require evidence to connect the wires to the fraud?
-
Is proof of misrepresentations by a defendant in 2014 alone sufficient to prove that a defendant “knew” transactions occurring years later in 2016 and 2017 involved proceeds of a crime for purposes of money laundering under 18 U.S.C. § 1957?
-
Is the calculation of the amount of funds received or obtained by a defendant in payment for services rendered alone sufficient to establish a victim’s “loss” for purposes of restitution or sentencing?
