United States Second Circuit

Conviction and sentence for wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud are affirmed where: 1) the defendant managed and supervised his female criminal accomplice, and, therefore, a two-level enhancement is warranted under Section 17 3B1.1(c); and 2) restitution under the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act of 1996 (MVRA) may not be denied simply because the victim had greedy or dishonest motives, where those intentions were not in pari materia with those of the defendant.
