Wire fraud is defined as a scheme to defraud money or property which causes false statements to be transmitted over wire, radio or television in interstate commerce. Wire fraud charges often accompany charges of other crimes that were allegedly part of a scheme to defraud, and involve:
- Ponzi schemes
- Embezzlement
- Bribery
- Money laundering
- Securities fraud
- Healthcare fraud
- Telemarketing fraud
- Conspiracy
If prosecutors can show that you committed a crime such as these and used a telephone, television or other electronic communication devise while committing the crime, you may be charged with wire fraud. Wire and mail fraud schemes are crimes often prosecuted by the federal government in connection with other financial crimes such as healthcare fraud.
The risk of going to jail with a conviction of wire fraud is real. Politicians who promise to be "tough on crime" may cultivate an environment of increasingly severe "stings" and "busts" designed to bring criminal actions to light.
