Financial Crimes
Federal financial crime prosecutions cover money laundering, wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud, securities violations, and tax offenses. The common thread is the tracing of money; the common statutes are 18 U.S.C. § 1343 and 18 U.S.C. § 1341.
The Fraud Statutes
Wire and mail fraud
18 U.S.C. § 1343 reaches schemes to defraud executed by wire, radio, or television communication; 18 U.S.C. § 1341 reaches the same schemes executed through the mail.
Both statutes carry a maximum of 20 years' imprisonment per count.
Money Movement Offenses
Laundering and structuring
Money laundering prosecutions target transactions designed to conceal the source of funds; structuring prosecutions target deposits arranged to avoid reporting requirements.
Financial records — bank statements, wire records, and ledgers — are the central evidence in these cases.
