Present: ROBERT D. SACK, PETER W. HALL, CHRISTOPHER F. DRONEY. Circuit Judges. United States of America, Appellee, v. 16-325-cr; 16-2306-cr Demetrios Papadakos, AKA “Jimmy the Greek”, AKA “Jimmy”; David Solano, AKA “Bobby”, AKA “Papi”; Domenick Ribustello, AKA “Dom”, AKA “D”; George Tkaczyk, Jr., AKA “Georgie”; Vasiliki Papadakos, AKA “Vaso”; John Yerinides; Ioannis Papachristou, AKA “Johnny”; Dimitrios Karpipdis; Savvas Giannoglou, AKA “Steve”; Carlos Hendricks, AKA “Carlito”; James Lyons; Qasim Seyal; Efstrati Papadakos, AKA “Steve”; Julio Brinez, AKA “Diesel”, AKA “D”, Defendants, Konstantinos Zografidis, AKA “Gus”, AKA “Poncho”; Alfred Catino, AKA “the Old Man”, AKA “Anthony Vitacco”, AKA “Frank Ross”, AKA “Alphonse Catino”, AKA “Chico”, AKA “Frank Russo”, AKA “Herbie”, Defendants-Appellants.
