Economic and Wire Fraud

In its widest sense, wire fraud-like any type of economic fraud-is dishonest dealing, based on a representation of fact that actually is untrue. The crime of wire fraud is committed when a practitioner makes a false representation by means of wire, cable, electronic, or other like connection between points of origin and reception for the purpose of causing the recipient to act to its economic detriment on that representation.

Scope of Wire Fraud Widened with Related Offenses

Prosecutors are targeting individuals and organizations suspected of wire fraud schemes with a view to adding charges for related offenses, such as financial institutions fraud, violations of the False Claims Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Related offenses include:

Conviction for wire fraud and related charges is punishable by severe monetary penalties and up to 20 years' imprisonment. And the judge can order forfeiture of all assets derived from the wire fraud scheme and related offenses.
