Do not combine its different target with the property element above. Its bribery/kickback and fiduciary-duty limits require separate analysis; this boundary node is not a complete honest-services claim.
interpretation
To establish wire fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1343, the government must prove the defendant (1) participated in a scheme to defraud, (2) intended to defraud, and (3) used interstate wires in furtherance of the fraud.

Buncich was an honest-services prosecution: its transmission/furtherance holding applies to the common communication requirement, not as a substitute for the property-fraud claim's separate property and materiality conjuncts.
interpretation
Both parties agree the evidence presented to the trial court failed to establish the wire transfers that were the basis of Counts I-III. Buncich's conviction on Counts I-III is hereby reversed.
