TANG, Senior Circuit Judge:
Thomas M. O’Brien, Edward B. Gallup, and Patrick W. Lyon appeal the district court’s imposition of a two-level enhancement of their sentences based on victim vulnerability under United States Sentencing Guidelines (“U.S.S.G.”) § 3A1.1. A jury had convicted appellants on charges of conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud, interstate transmission of money obtained by fraud, and money laundering in connection with their operation of a fraudulent health insurance scheme. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and we affirm.
