Stripping An Insurance Company

United States v. Weiss (2013)

Charge: Racketeering, wire fraud, interstate transportation of stolen funds and money launderingCourt: U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh CircuitState: FloridaDocket: The Con

The facts

A businessman was charged over a scheme to defraud a life insurance company. The indictment ran to dozens of counts: racketeering, wire fraud, carrying stolen money across state lines, and laundering it. He answered that the prosecutors had gone too far by subpoenaing his own lawyer to give evidence, and that the jury had never been told it must all agree on which particular wire fraud he had committed. A jury heard the case.

You have the facts the court had. Guilty or not guilty? Call it in the game with your friends, then see what the court actually decided. Wrong call, you drink.
