“Viewed in the light most favorable to the government, the record contains ample evidence from which the jury could find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. See United States v. Thomas, 284 F.3d 746, 751 (7th Cir. 2002). Ackley used legitimate business trips to steal tribal money for his own purpose. It was not a one-time event for him, but was a very reliable pattern Ackley knowingly used each time to enrich himself at tribal expense. It was his own unique method of stealing. It was the same as if he had slipped his hand into the pocket of the tribe’s comptroller and slipped out the tribe’s wallet.”

Affirmed.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, Clevert, J., Harlington Wood, J.
