US v. Kuo, No. 08-10314

The district court's restitution order imposed upon defendants for conspiracy to violate civil rights relating to a prostitution scheme is vacated where restitution for "lost income" under 18 U.S.C. section 3663 was not the same as disgorgement of all of defendants' ill-gotten gains from the victims' forced prostitution.
