1Opinion of the Court

THOMPSON, Circuit Judge.

Peter DiRosa was sentenced to 57 months in prison after a jury found him guilty of one count of wire fraud. The charge resulted from a transaction in which DiRosa and an associate, Thomas Renison, convinced then-75-year-old Frank Jablonski to invest $600,000 in an elaborate scheme surrounding a real estate development project in Polgardi, Hungary. On appeal, DiRosa challenges the denial of his suffieiency-of-the-evidence-based motion for acquittal, the admission of certain testimony, and his sentence. After careful consideration, we wholly affirm.
