Heading: Sufficiency of the Evidence of Other Convictions

Text: On appeal, Mr. Cooper roots his challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence of his convictions of conspiracy to launder money, engaging in monetary transactions in property derived from unlawful activity, and money laundering (Counts 105 through 148) solely in the claimed insufficiency of the evidence of his convictions of conspiracy to defraud and mail and wire fraud. Mr. Cooper argues that because the evidence supporting the conspiracy to defraud and mail and wire fraud convictions is insufficient, [t]he money laundering conspiracy and substantive money laundering charges, which are expressly dependent on [those] counts, must then be reversed as well. Aplt. Opening Br. at 38 (citations omitted). Because Mr. Cooper's challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence of his conspiracy to defraud and mail and wire fraud convictions fail, his challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence of his other convictions likewise fail.
