Text: 18 We also conclude that sufficient evidence supports White's conviction under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 510(b) for receiving, delivering, retaining, or concealing stolen or forged U.S. Treasury bonds belonging to a Ms. Esther Kennedy. Ms. Kennedy's home in Detroit was burglarized. The stolen items were never identified, but the government presented evidence that the defendants acquired Ms. Kennedy's bonds on the black market in the Los Angeles area. Defendants contacted Ms. Lewis with a plan to cash Ms. Kennedy's bonds; they created false identification for Lewis under the name of Esther Kennedy that would enable Ms. Lewis to forge Ms. Kennedy's endorsement on the bonds defendants possessed. The bonds in this case were in the possession or under control of the defendants, and the defendants improperly negotiated some of them, and intended to negotiate others. 19 The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
