United States v. Odoni, No. 13-13528 (11th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseDefendants Odoni and Gunter appealed their convictions and sentences for multiple counts related to international investment fraud schemes. The court concluded that the district court did not err in denying Odoni's motion to dismiss his indictment for lack of personal jurisdiction; there was sufficient evidence to prove that Odoni knowingly or intentionally participated in the schemes to defraud underlying his convictions; the district court did not err in denying Odoni's motion for a new trial where, assuming arguendo, that Odoni's absence from a conference call violated Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 43, any such error was harmless; and Odoni's 160-month sentence is substantively reasonable. The court concluded that the district court did not err in denying Gunter's motion to suppress electronic evidence, and the fruits thereof, which were seized by British authorities in the United Kingdom where Gunter had no reasonable expectation of privacy in the files when the U.S. officials examined them after the British officials reviewed the information before sending them to the United States. Accordingly, the court affirmed the convictions and sentences.
