United States Eighth Circuit

Sentence for financial-institution fraud and money laundering is affirmed where: 1) the district court did not commit procedural error by increasing plaintiff's offense level by four levels because her conduct substantially jeopardized the safety and soundness of a financial institution; and 2) the district court did not commit procedural error by relying on both the Guidelines provision relating to offense-level increases for amount of loss and the Guidelines provision relating to conduct that substantially jeopardizes the safety and soundness of a financial institution.
