• noting that the determination of the amount of loss is a finding of fact

• denial warranted when defendant who had already pleaded guilty blamed actions on bad advice of counsel and did not assist in recovering fruits of his offense
• “[T]he Sentencing Guidelines’ fraud provision is a very broad guideline encompassing a wide variety of offenses; because bankruptcy fraud involves a higher level of culpability due to its deception of the court, the offense warrants a greater punishment.”
