What is the test for establishing that there was a conspiracy between a group of defendants to clean credit records at a local watering hole?

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the government, all of the defendants reportedly met several times together and discussed "cleaning" credit records at several local watering holes. The government need not show direct contact or explicit agreement between the defendants. It is sufficient to show that each defendant knew or had a reason to know of the scope of the conspiracy and that each defendant had reason to believe that their own benefits were dependent upon the success of the entire venture. United States v. Perry, 550 F.2d 524, 528-29 (9th Cir. 1977). We conclude that the government satisfied this test.
