on which petitioner relied. Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. sec. 514.040
(Michie 1990); Commonwealth v. Burnette, 875 S.W.2d 865, 868 (Ky.
1994); Brown v. Commonwealth, 656 S.W.2d 727, 728 (Ky. 1983).
Petitioner contends that he bought ZZZZ Best stock in
reliance on Minkow’s representations and material Minkow sent
him. Petitioner contends that Minkow’s intent to deceive him
about the receivables also showed that Minkow intended to deceive
him to buy ZZZZ Best stock. Petitioner argues that Minkow’s
fraudulent misrepresentation of the value of the receivables
caused petitioner to buy ZZZZ Best stock. See Ky. Rev. Stat.
Ann. sec. 501.060 (Michie 1990).5
5 Sec. 501.060, Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. (Michie 1990), provides
in part:
Causal relationships. -- (1) Conduct is the cause of a
result when it is an antecedent without which the
result in question would not have occurred.
(2) When intentionally causing a particular result
is an element of an offense, the element is not
established if the actual result is not within the
intention or the contemplation of the actor unless:
(a) The actual result differs from that intended
or contemplated, as the case may be, only in the
respect that a different person or different property
is injured or affected or that the injury or harm
intended or contemplated would have been more serious
or more extensive; or
(b) The actual result involves the same kind of
injury or harm as that intended or contemplated and
occurs in a manner which the actor knows or should know
is rendered substantially more probable by his conduct.
