Text: 36 The evidence already described was sufficient to show Reyes intentionally joined the Percan/All-in-One conspiracy. According to Agent Helmer's testimony, defendant admitted referring to Percan both buyers and sellers of secondhand airbags and providing Spanish translation services to facilitate sales. The numerous checks made payable to Reyes corroborated these admissions. Although All-in-One conducted some legitimate business, Detective Burke and witness Kalust testified that stolen airbags comprised nearly all of the general market for secondhand airbags and nearly all of All-in-One's business. 37 Again, Kalust described one occasion when Reyes dropped off a set of undocumented airbags at All-in-One in a plain plastic bag, which was the manner that thieves would deliver stolen airbags. Given that Reyes earned approximately $17,000 from a business that consisted mostly of stolen airbag sales and that he delivered a set of airbags to All-in-One in the manner of an airbag thief, a reasonable jury could infer that he intentionally participated in stolen airbag transactions that were part of Percan's illegitimate activities. See United States v. Rosa, 17 F.3d 1531, 1543 (2d Cir.1994) (stating that circumstantial evidence may be sufficient to support a finding of conspiratorial intent).
