- First count: Conspiracy to commit wire fraud to defraud customers.
- Second count: Wire fraud on customers.
- Third count: Conspiracy to commit wire fraud on lenders.
- Fourth count: Wire fraud on lenders. (again, specifically lenders to Alameda)
- Fifth count: Conspiracy to commit commodities fraud.
- Sixth count: Conspiracy to commit securities fraud.
