Aiello v. United States
Petition for certiorari granted, judgment vacated, and case remanded to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit for further consideration in light of Percoco v. United States and Ciminelli v. United States.
Issues: (1) Whether paying an influential private citizen
to advocate one’s position before a government agency
can constitute honest services fraud under 18 U.S.C.
§ 1346; and (2) whether deception that deprives a person of
“potentially valuable economic information,” without
more, can constitute “money or property” fraud under
the federal mail and wire fraud statutes.
