Description
Abdul Alhalabi owned a grocery store in Chicago. Most of the stores income came from transactions with customers using food stamps. The government started investigating Alhalabi after his store reported unusually large food stamp benefit redemptions. Through its efforts, the government determined that Alhalabi was illegally paying his customers cash for their benefits in an amount well below their face value. The government revoked Alhalabis participation in the food stamp program but did not bring charges for wire and food stamp fraud until nearly five years later. After a five-day trial, a jury convicted Alhalabi on three counts of wire fraud and three counts of food stamp fraud, and he was sentenced to forty-one months imprisonment. Alhalabi appeals his conviction. We affirm.
