Bank Fraud
Fraudulent actions involve an individual’s misrepresenting of oneself or other facts in order to achieve some sort of financial or personal gain. Bank fraud occurs when an individual takes advantage, or attempts to take advantage of a financial institution in this manner. It is a federal crime and conviction for bank fraud and related charges is likely to result in very strict sentencing, as prosecutors are seeking to protect the integrity of the financial system.
