United States Eleventh Circuit

Defendant's wire fraud conviction and sentence are affirmed where: 1) the district court did not improperly limit defendant's cross-examination, because the questioning defendant was permitted to do exposed facts that were more than sufficient to allow the jury to draw inferences about the prosecution witnesses' reliability; and 2) there was sufficient evidence to show that defendant actively participated in the scheme to defraud and had the requisite criminal intent.
