context: The court reasoned that the victim's loss stemmed from the passing of the counterfeit bills and not from the crime of possession for which the defendant stood convicted: "[T]he mere possession and concealment of the bogus money by itself did not harm the [victim]. Therefore, Burger's offense did not 'cause' the loss for which he now is required to make restitution."
