United States v. Haywood, No. 13-3815 (7th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseHaywood, with help from others, processed bogus applications for mortgage loans and caused $1.4 million in losses to the lenders. He pleaded guilty to wire fraud, 18 U.S.C. 1343, and was sentenced to 151 months’ imprisonment. The Seventh Circuit affirmed the sentence, rejecting an argument that part of the loss should have been excluded in calculating his offense level under the sentencing guidelines because he disclosed part of his fraud during proffer sessions protected by U.S.S.G. 1B1.8. The court also upheld application of a 4-level, aggravating-role adjustment under U.S.S.G. 3B1.1(a).
