Heading: Amato's Additional Restitution Arguments

Text: Amato also contends the district court erred by including in its restitution order certain losses not attributable to him and imposing a total restitution amount that is out of line with the amounts imposed on his co-conspirators. These contentions both hinge on a view of Amato's role in the conspiracy that is at odds with the district court's findings. There is no error in the district court's finding that the evidence established Amato's participation in each of the aspects of the conspiracy he now challenges. As the court explained, even where he was not a contemporaneous participant, he later engaged in cover-up activities. Moreover, it was well within the district court's discretion to make Amato jointly and severally liable for the entire loss EDS suffered as a result of the conspiracy even while apportioning the liability of some of his co-conspirators. See United States v. Nucci, 364 F.3d 419, 422 (2d Cir.2004).
