Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit April 14, 2004, 02-2996, 02-4000 (United States v. Fowobi George and Ola Mustapha)

BAUER, Circuit Judge.

Fowobi George and Ola Mustapha appeal convictions that were the result of criminal transactions committed between the spring and fall of 2000. All of the schemes had a common thread: they involved the use of counterfeit checks to obtain money or goods. George and Mus-tapha worked with various other eo-eon-spirators in their endeavors; we will describe the schemes briefly.
