United States Seventh Circuit

Convictions and sentence on multiple counts of financial fraud, racketeering and tax evasion are affirmed, but a restitution order for a racketeering conviction is vacated and remanded where it was not clear from the record how much of the funds was poured back into the enterprise and how much went to benefit a defendant personally, thus the court could not determine whether at least part of the forfeiture constituted double billing.
