TJOFLAT, Circuit Judge:
This case involves a business that the defendant, Charles E. Edwards, claimed was legitimate. A Northern District of Georgia jury, however, found that Edwards was operating a Ponzi scheme and convicted him of wire fraud and related crimes. 1 Edwards now appeals his convictions and the prison sentence he received.
