U.S. v. Gold

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 75-month term of incarceration on wire fraud charge, even though Dist. Ct. based said sentence, in part, on finding in presentence report that estimated loss to victims was around $1.8 million. While defendant claimed that said loss was only around $1 million, defendant failed to present any evidence to show that information used to support $1.8 million figure was unreliable or erroneous. Moreover, govt.’s documentary evidence regarding victim’s loss was taken from defendant’s own bank account records. Ct. also rejected defendant’s argument that his prison sentence should be shorter in order to give him more time to satisfy $1.8 million restitution order.
