United States v. Matthew Simpson
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
JAMES E. GRAVES, JR., Circuit Judge:
Matthew Simpson and Nathan Shafer raise multiple challenges to their convictions and sentences for participation in a wire and mail fraud conspiracy in the telecommunications industry. Simpson was also convicted of aiding and abetting the transmission of spam, obstruction of justice, and registration of a false domain name. We affirm all the convictions, except for Simpson’s conviction for registration of a false domain name. We also affirm Shafer’s sentence. However, we vacate and remand Simpson’s sentence in light of our reversal of one of his convictions.
