Text: 13 Gloria Walker, Steward's older sister, testified that in early 1987 Steward came to her apartment and informed her that she could assist Walker in improving her poor financial situation. Steward told Walker that she would receive a one-third split of the Social Security checks. The other two-thirds would be split equally between Steward and Lynn, the person who would supposedly destroy the canceled checks. 14 After her conversation with Steward, Walker received by mail a Social Security check, payable to her, in the amount of approximately $2,900.00. She cashed the check, retained one-third of the proceeds, and gave the remainder to Steward. Walker received an additional thirty fraudulent Social Security checks over the next several months. She cashed each check, kept one-third of the face amount, and gave the remaining funds to Steward for her to split evenly with Lynn. The government introduced into evidence the thirty-one Social Security checks made payable to Walker. 15
