Understanding Federal Bank Fraud

Bank fraud is a complex crime with multiple elements that must be proven. To secure a conviction, the prosecution must prove intent to defraud and that the fraud involved financial institutions such as banks or credit unions, with the goal of unlawfully obtaining money, assets, or other properties under their control.

Common methods of committing bank fraud include:

• Stealing checks from mailboxes, businesses, or post offices.
• Establishing a fraudulent financial institution to deceive customers.
• Forgery or altering checks by changing the payee’s name or the amount.
• Submitting false information to secure a fraudulent loan.

The penalties for federal bank fraud can be severe, including long prison sentences and significant fines. Having an experienced lawyer can be the key to negotiating a lesser sentence, or even avoiding a conviction altogether.
