The defendants, Richard Feldman and Richard Martenson, appeal their convictions and sentences for mail fraud, wire fraud and racketeering. The defendants were involved with a company known as First Guaranty Metals (“FGM”); FGM was a Florida corporation established in 1978 that was engaged primarily in the retail sale of leveraged futures contracts in precious metals, including gold, silver and platinum. Feldman was one of FGM’s owners. Martenson’s exact role in the company is unclear; at various points in the record he is described as a partner, trader and consultant.
