Question:

Doxie was convicted of wire fraud (cheating a company out of about a million dollars) and of tax evasion because he did not report the money he stole as income. He received 53 months in prison after the sentencing guidelines were applied. He argued he should only get time in prison based on the theft of the money as the tax evasion was tied to that. It was unreasonable to count the crimes separately rather than lump them together. Does that argument make sense? [U.S. v. Doxie, 813 F.3d 1340, 11th Cir. (2016)]
