United States v. Wilson

Defendant appealed his convictions and sentence for converting to his personal use United States Treasury checks issued as a result of fraudulently filed federal income tax returns. Defendant claimed he was a legitimate check casher and did not know the Treasury checks were fraudulent. The court concluded that the record contained ample evidence to sustain all of defendant's convictions; the court rejected defendant's evidentiary objections; and the court concluded that the district court properly included the uncharged conduct in its loss calculations and the district court reasonably inferred that the 52 names at issue identified real people in its calculation of the number of victims at sentencing.
