United States Eleventh Circuit

Sentence of 75 months of imprisonment and two years of supervised release for mail fraud and money laundering in a Ponzi-type scheme is vacated, based on government's appeal, as the district court erred when it failed to make independent findings of the amount of loss and number of victims and declined to rule on the obstruction of justice enhancement.
