In ancient Albanian mythology, the Bolla (known as Bullar in South Albania) is a type of dragon (or a demonic dragon-like creature) with a long, coiled, serpentine body, four legs and small wings. This dragon sleeps throughout the whole year, only to wake on Saint George's Day, where its faceted silver eyes peer into the world. The Bolla does this until it sees a human. It devours the person, then closes its eyes and sleeps again. Albanian myths can be divided into two major groups: legends of metamorphosis and historical legends. ...
In its twelfth year, the bolla evolves by growing nine tongues, horns, spines and larger wings. At this time it will learn how to use its formerly hidden fire-breathing abilities, and is now called a Kulshedra. The Kulshedra causes droughts and lives off human sacrifices. The Kulshedra is sometimes also represented as an enormous woman with a hairy body and hanging breasts.
The monster can cause a shortage of water and it requires human sacrifices to propitiate it. The creature is also known as Bullar in south Albania.

Bolla argues that the district court did not have an adequate basis for concluding that he intended such a loss, and should have relied on actual loss instead - alleged to be a lower amount yielding less of an enhancement.
Bolla argues that the government failed to prove the amount of intended loss by a preponderance of the evidence, and that the district court should have used an actual loss figure, because the intended loss could not be determined.
Bolla's claim that "he was not focused on the fine" makes it difficult for him to suggest that he only intended to avoid some lesser amount, which he expected the SEC to impose.
