United States Ninth Circuit

Sentence enhancement under U.S.S.G. section 2B1.1(b)(10)(C), following the defendant's guilty plea to conspiracy to defraud the United States, False Claims Act conspiracy, theft from an Indian tribe receiving federal funding, and federal income tax evasion, is affirmed where the district court did not abuse its discretion when it applied the "sophisticated means" enhancement to the defendant's offense conduct.
