Haut was also convicted of mail fraud (18 U.S.C. Section(s) 1341). The district court decreased the offense levels of both defendants by 4 points, based on a finding of minimal participation.

The district court further reduced their offense levels an additional 6 points by way of a downward departure, based on a finding that the governments witnesses were not credible. U.S.S.G.
