In her testimony, Jeanette agreed that the speakeasy was a business and indicated that she was making a profit. Id. at 1156, 1163 (“[W]e would purchase more beer, alcohol, and sometimes I might have enough to pay a bill to help me with my — send my child to school.”).

See Urban, 404 F.3d at 761, 767; Haywood, 363 F.3d at 211; Clausen, 328 F.3d at 711-12; see also United States v. Elias, 285 F.3d 183, 189 (2d Cir.2002) (<HOLDING>); United States v. Mapp, 170 F.3d 328, 336 n.
