United States Second Circuit

Conviction of multiple defendants for conspiracy to commit securities fraud, wire fraud, and commercial bribery, using facilities of interstate commerce to carry on and facilitate commercial bribery, wire fraud, and securities fraud is affirmed over claims that: 1) the district court erred by denying defendants' motion to sever under Fed. Crim. Pro. Rule 8(b) and Rule 14; and 2) the government violated Brady, when it failed to produce arguably exculpatory evidence with respect to a charged co-conspirator until the week of trial.
