Question presented
Whether the Ninth Circuit’s “prophylactic” “bright-line rule” that precludes a defendant’s use of investor behavior evidence to prevent “victim blaming,” even when such evidence is highly relevant to materiality and other elements of wire fraud, is inconsistent with this Court’s precedent, other circuits that follow the Court’s precedent, and the defendant’s due process rights.
