Fraud

Understanding State and Federal Fraud Charges

Fraud is a broad term that covers a wide range of illegal activities usually involving deception for financial or personal gain. These offenses can take many forms, from bank fraud and mortgage fraud to securities fraud, insurance fraud, and healthcare fraud. Whether committed by individuals or businesses, fraud cases are often complex, involving detailed financial records, multiple parties, and extensive investigations by state or federal authorities.

Prosecutors take fraud allegations seriously, dedicating significant resources to building cases. Fraud can be prosecuted under a wide range of federal laws, including the Wire Fraud Statute (18 U.S.C. § 1343), Mail Fraud Statute (18 U.S.C. § 1341), Securities Fraud Statutes (15 U.S.C. §§ 78j(b) and 77q(a)), Bank Fraud Statute (18 U.S.C. § 1344), and the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. § 3729).

These investigations can be led by state agencies, federal law enforcement, or regulatory bodies, such as the Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation Division (IRS-CI), Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or state and local financial oversight departments. They often rely on financial data, digital communications, and testimony from cooperating witnesses, making them difficult to challenge without a strong, well-prepared defense.
