Heading: Grouping counts 1–4 and 7–12 under

Text: U.S.S.G. § 3D1.2(d). Eddings’s PSR recommended that counts 1–4 (Ponzi scheme mail fraud), 7–10 (Ponzi scheme wire fraud and money laundering), and 11–12 (bankruptcy fraud) be grouped under U.S.S.G. § 3D1.2(d) because “the offense level is determined largely on the basis of the total amount of harm or loss.” Eddings objected, arguing that the grouping was improper because the bankruptcy counts “involve different victims and modes of fraud and are unrelated to the investment scheme in manner and in time.” The district court overruled Eddings’s objection.
