Questão jurídica principal
Whether the indictment sufficiently described the alleged serial fraud to satisfy the accusation principle.
Decisão extraída
Yes. Read as a whole, the indictment described a uniform fraudulent scheme, the relevant deceptions, and representative individual cases clearly enough for the defense to respond.
Fundamentação extraída
In serial fraud, a general assessment of the deceptive pattern is sufficient when the cases are factually similar and do not materially differ in victim-related aspects. Here the indictment set out the common method, the deception themes, and six illustrative cases; no materially deviating cases were shown.
