Text: The PSR grouped Derek Zar’s four wire fraud convictions and one money laundering conviction producing a base offense level of 7. See U.S.S.G. § 3D1.2(c), (d); § 3D1.3(b). After adopting the government’s loss calculation of $1,599,359, the 30 PSR applied a 16-level increase for that loss. See U.S.S.G. § 2B1.1(b)(1)(I) (providing 16-level increase for loss of more than $1,000,000 but less than $2,500,000). The PSR then applied a three-level increase under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.1(b) for Derek Zar’s role in the offense as a “manager or supervisor.” His total offense level of 26 and criminal history of I resulted in an advisory Guidelines range of 63-78 months’ imprisonment for each of Derek Zar’s five convictions. The district court sentenced Derek Zar to a controlling term of 63 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release and ordered restitution of $1,364,657.
