• holding “the district court’s reliance on [one factor] as overriding all other sentencing considerations exceeded the bounds of permissible choice”
• collecting authorities for the proposition that “courts should not rely on a defendant’s wealth in fashioning a sentence”

• “The record is clear that the district court imposed a lenient probation sentence because Sample’s high income allowed him to make restitution payments to his victims. Our system of justice has no sentencing discount for wealth.”
