United States First Circuit

Defendant's convictions for theft of government property in violation of 18 U.S.C. section 641 are affirmed, as defendant's argument that count one must be dismissed because it does not exclusively relate to money received illegally within the statute of limitations is rejected because where a check that is alleged to be a conversion is drawn on an account containing both legal and illegal funds, the government need only show that illegal funds constitute a substantial portion of the account's total to support a conviction.
