What Is Federal Bank Fraud?

Federal bank fraud involves knowingly committing a fraudulent scheme to defraud a financial institution by using false information or misrepresentations to unlawfully obtain funds, assets, or property. Federal law defines bank fraud broadly, and it can take several forms, including:

• Using another person’s bank information or account without their consent.
• Creating or attempting to cash a falsified check.
• Using identity theft to access bank accounts.
• Hacking into financial institution systems to steal information.

Potential Penalties for Bank Fraud

A conviction for federal bank fraud carries severe penalties, including:

• Substantial fines that can cause serious financial strain.
• Long prison sentences—with federal fraud cases often carrying decades-long sentences.
• Restitution payments to victims on top of fines.
• Loss of professional licenses and reputational damage to your personal and professional life.

Given the severity of these consequences, it is essential to have a skilled attorney fighting for your rights and future. From the moment you are under investigation, Lorraine Gauli-Rufo and her legal team will work tirelessly to guide you through this complicated process.

Common Defenses Against Federal Bank Fraud Charges

Several defenses can be used in a federal bank fraud case, including:

• Lack of Intent: The government must prove intent beyond a reasonable doubt – if it fails to do that you will not be convicted of bank fraud.
• Lack of Materiality: If no material misrepresentation was made, it could be a defense to fraud charges.
• Questioning the Evidence: We can challenge the validity of evidence, especially if it was obtained without proper legal procedures, such as a warrant.
