United States Ninth Circuit

Defendant's convictions and sentence for conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, and additional related offenses are affirmed in part as the manner in which he was brought to trial in the United States did not deprive the district court of personal jurisdiction over him, but the matter is remanded for a determination of whether convictions on certain money laundering counts should be vacated due to the principles of dual criminality and/or specialty, and if so, for resentencing absent those convictions.
