Heading: Mr. Weidner's challenge

Text: 129 Mr. Weidner makes only a cursory challenge to the gross receipts enhancement of his sentence. He argues that because the loan from Mr. Wittig arose out of a legitimate borrower/lender relationship, Wittig's Br. at 33, the $1.5 million was obtained from Mr. Wittig and not from a financial institution, as required by USSG § 2B1.1(b)(12). 130 This argument merely restates Mr. Weidner's challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence. As we have noted, there was ample evidence from which the district court could conclude that the $1.5 million transferred to Mr. Weidner's Arizona real estate investment was funded by the $1.5 million increase in Mr. Wittig's line of credit. Thus, the district court properly concluded that the $1.5 million was obtained from a financial institution. 131
