1Opinion of the Court
MERRITT, Chief Judge.
Defendant, William Howard Garland, appeals his conviction on one count of interstate fraud arising from what he claims was a failed attempt to purchase 5000 metric tons of cocoa beans from Ghana, West Africa. 1 He borrowed $75,000. Garland was indicted and tried on the theory that he had fabricated the cocoa deal and had defrauded the lender by representing that he needed the $75,000 to complete the cocoa shipment to the United States. The Department of Justice did not investigate the facts of the case in Ghana to verify Garland’s story prior to seeking the indictment.
