Affirmed. See Pizzo v. State, 945 So. 2d 1203, 1207 (Fla. 2006) (setting forth elements of organized fraud, including: “(1) [e]ngaging in or furthering a systematic, ongoing course of conduct (2) with (a) intent to defraud, or (b) intent to obtain property by false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, or willful misrepresentations of a future act”); see also Beamon v. State, 23 So. 3d 209, 210-11 (Fla. 4th DCA 2009) (explaining ongoing course of conduct and noting that “[t]he Legislature has the power to criminalize the same acts in different ways, without any impropriety in making conduct involved in one case subject to prosecution either as several instances of grand theft or in sum as an organized scheme to defraud”); Sewall v. State, 783 So. 2d 1171, 1179 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001) (affirming conviction where the record adequately demonstrated that there was competent substantial evidence to support the jurys verdict that Sewall engaged in ongoing conduct).
