GRUENDER, Circuit Judge.
William Reed Jenkins, III, pled guilty to two counts of wire fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343, and the district court 1 sentenced him to 70 months’ imprisonment. Jenkins appeals his sentence, arguing that the district court erred: (1) in determining the amount of loss under U.S.S.G. § 2B1.1(b)(1); (2) in applying a sophisticated-means enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2B1.1(b)(8)(C); and (3) in applying an abuse-of-trust enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.3. 2 For the reasons discussed below, we affirm Jenkins’s sentence.
