Criminal Law: Wire Fraud – Sufficiency Of Evidence – Sentencing
Stephanie Maniscalco//July 13, 2009//
U.S. v. Anderson (MLW No.59288/Case No. 08-3402/3436 – 13 pages) (U.S. Court of Appeals, 8th Circuit, Gruender, J.)
Where the government showed that a defendant in a wire fraud case used an online banking system to transfer money to his account and that he initiated the transfer of loan proceeds from a Minnesota bank branch to his North Dakota account, interstate wire transfers were reasonably foreseeable to the defendant and the evidence was sufficient for his conviction for wire fraud as well as for failure to appear, and the court also did not commit significant procedural error in sentencing the defendant.
Judgment is affirmed.
