What is bank fraud?

Title 18, United States Code, Section 1334 is the federal bank fraud statute. Someone can be convicted of bank fraud if he or she “knowingly executes, or attempts to execute, a scheme or artifice—(1) to defraud a financial institution; or (2) to obtain any of the moneys, funds, credits, assets, securities, or other property owned by, or under the custody or control of, a financial institution, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises[.]”

In other words, if an individual or corporation fraudulently obtains (or attempts to obtain) from any financial institution money or anything else of monetary value, that person or company can be found guilty of bank fraud.

All in all, we have a wealth of experience and a proven track record to show for it. Our federal criminal defense lawyers work tirelessly on each and every case to achieve the best outcome possible.
