United States Eighth Circuit

Defendant's convictions and sentence for health care fraud, currency structuring, and money laundering are affirmed where: 1) the evidence was sufficient to support the convictions; and 2) any error in calculating the loss for the health care fraud conviction would have been harmless because the sentence was based on defendant's currency structuring conviction under the guideline grouping rules, rather than on his health care fraud conviction.
