Heading: Enhancement for 50 to 250 Victims

Text: Salem argues the district court erred in applying a four-level enhancement for between 50 and 250 victims. He argues that insufficient evidence of the number of victims was presented. Barnhart testified that Salem purchased purported stolen property on 49 occasions from undercover agents and that these purchases had a retail value of $343,000.00. He also testified that there were a total of 288 undercover transactions from Salem’s co-conspirators that had a retail value of about $618,000.00. He speculated that there were “hundreds if not thousands” of total victims. Based upon this evidence, the district court did not clearly err in estimating there were between 50 and 250 victims. See United States v. Walton, 908 F.2d 1289, 1301 (6th Cir. 1990).
