Heading: Offense Enhancement

Text: 85 Reeder challenges the four-level enhancement for his role as an organizer or leader of a criminal activity that involved (1) five or more participants or (2) was otherwise extensive. See U.S.S.G. § 3B1.1(a). Reeder contends only that he did not lead or organize five or more persons who were criminally responsible for the offense. He makes no argument that the criminal activity was not otherwise extensive, the basis for the district court's enhancement. United States v. Rostoff, 53 F.3d 398, 413 (1st Cir.1995) (extensiveness prong does not depend on number of participants). Reeder's assertion that Christopher was the true leader is irrelevant. The district court found that Reeder had ultimate control of Resolute, placed Christopher in charge of the insurance companies, and directed the disposition of monies taken from the companies. A careful review of the record leaves no doubt as to the extensiveness of the criminal enterprise.
