Federal Defense Attorney Defending You Against Federal Bank Fraud Charges

The Federal Crime of Bank Fraud

Before a person can be convicted of federal bank fraud charges, the Unites States District Attorney, also know as the prosecution, must prove the following four things beyond a reasonable doubt:

• The accused individual executed or attempted to execute a scheme to defraud a financial institution or to obtain money, assets, or property from a financial institution by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises relating to a material fact;
• The accused did so willfully with an intent to defraud;
• The false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises were material; and
• The financial institution was federally insured or chartered.
