1. This guideline assumes a regulatory offense that involved
knowing or reckless conduct. Where only negligence was involved,
a downward departure may be warranted. See Chapter Five, Part K
(Departures).
2. The cross reference at subsection (b)(1) addresses cases in
which the offense involved fraud. The cross reference at
subsection (b)(2) addresses cases in which the offense was
committed in furtherance of, or to conceal, an offense covered by
another offense guideline (e.g., bribery).
3. Upward Departure Provisions.—The following are circumstances
in which an upward departure may be warranted:
(A) Death or bodily injury, extreme psychological injury,
property damage, or monetary loss resulted. See Chapter Five,
Part K (Departures).

substance purported to be an anabolic steroid, but not containing
any active ingredient, apply §2B1.1 (Theft, Property Destruction, and Fraud) with "loss"
measured by the amount paid, or to be paid, by the victim for
such substance.
