Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether 18 U.S.C. § 1843 requires the Government to prove the object of the alleged wire fraud scheme was to obtain money or property
Question Presented (OCR Extract)
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether 18 U.S.C. § 1843—the federal wire fraud statute—requires the Government to prove, consistent with Section 1343’s statutory text, that the “object” of the alleged wire fraud scheme was to “obtain” money or property from the victim? 2. Whether this Court’s conclusion in United States v. Kelly, 140 S. Ct. 1565, that “incidental” harms, even where foreseeable, do not violate 18 U.S.C. § 1343 was merely dicta, such that a jury need not be informed before deliberations that such harms fall outside the bounds of the statute? 3. Whether a “right to control” athletic scholarship decisions constitutes “property” protected by 18 U.S.C. § 1343?
