Question Presented (from Petition)
1. Is a mail or wire fraud conviction based on a sufficient property interest when a victim receives the full financial benefit of its bargain but, through material deceptions, is deprived of only its "right to control" how to spend its money or make informed financial decisions, or is that outside the statutes' scope? (A 7-4 split.)
2. When a defendant deceptively seeks or obtains a contract or grant through a set-aside program, should loss and restitution be calculated as its entire amount, or is there an offset for the fair market value of the work performed? (A 3-3 split.)
