United States v. Guevara

by
The Eleventh Circuit affirmed defendant's conviction of violating 31 U.S.C. 5324(b)(2) and 18 U.S.C. 2 by causing or attempting to cause a car dealership to file certain Form 8300s with the Treasury Department that contained material omissions and misstatements of facts concerning defendant's identity as the individual who provided cash payments of over $10,000 for the purchases of each of three sports cars. The court held that, although the evidence was circumstantial only, it was sufficient to support the jury's verdict. The court remanded with instructions to resentence defendant because the district court failed to make and explain factual findings that adequately support the application of a two-level sentencing enhancement for obstruction of justice under USSG 3C1.1.
