United States Sixth Circuit

Because the district court failed to make specific factual findings, such as when the defendant entered conspiracy and "the scope of the criminal activity the defendant agreed to jointly undertake," in determining the amount of laundered funds for which the defendant was accountable, the court erred in enhancing defendant's base offense level under U.S.S.G. section 2S1.1(b)(2).
