1Opinion of the Court
FRIEDMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.
In these consolidated appeals the three defendants challenge their convictions of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit that offense on various grounds. The fraud involved an intricate and sophisticated scheme involving a technique known as a “land flip,” under which real property is purchased for a low price, immediately resold at a much higher price to a straw or fictitious buyer, and the higher resale price is used as the basis for obtaining a mortgage loan that finances the entire transaction. One of the defendants also challenges her sentence. We affirm.
