United States First Circuit

Sentence for guilty plea conviction of various acts of wire fraud and tax evasion, in violation of 18 U.S.C. section 1343 and 26 U.S.C. section 7201, is affirmed where: 1) defendant's unbridled greed, in the court's view, warranted a high-end guideline sentence and the court did not focus single-mindedly on the harm to the victims of the fraud; and 2) the sentence was substantively reasonable.
