Weischedel, 201 F.3d 1250, 1255 (9th Cir. 2000) (holding that the district court did not err by imposing the vulnerable victim adjustment when it considered the vulnerable circumstances the victim was in, including the remote location); United States v. Randall, 162 F.3d 557, 560 (9th Cir. 1998) (explaining that victims of a reloading scheme were particularly susceptible where the defendant sought out people who had a track record of falling for fraudulent schemes); United States v. James, 139 F.3d 709, 714-15 (9th Cir. 1998) (concluding that a pregnant bank teller who was threatened during a robbery was a vulnerable victim); United States v. Johnson, 132 F.3d 1279, 1286 (9th Cir. 1997) (holding that a minor who had "been in the country for only a few weeks when the adult responsible for his care and well-being initiated a series of sexual advances" was a vulnerable victim).
