Text: “Under this element, the government must prove that the alleged conspirator had a general awareness of both the scope and the objective of the enterprise.” Pulido-Jacobo, 377 F.3d at 1130 (internal quotation marks omitted). Ford acknowledges that he sold illicit drugs from the Spot. This, added to the evidence that he was generally found there selling drugs, he stored drugs for the drug trafficking operation at his parents’ house, and his payment to Quinn was sometimes necessary for Quinn to pay the drug supplier, established that Ford was aware of the scope and objective of the enterprise. 3 Ford argues that this remark referred to the quality of the drugs, rather than the agreement among the coconspirators. But the jury could reasonably interpret the testimony as referring to an agreement, rather than to drug quality. -8-
