SPEAK TO A CITY FRAUD LAWYER BEFORE AN INVESTIGATOR
Crimes involving fraud and financial crimes, often referred to as “white collar” crimes, are a form of theft/larceny that usually involves a lie, deception, or dishonesty in an attempt to gain a benefit. Fraud crimes differ from common theft or robbery, because it does not involve the direct “taking” of the property that sometimes involves violence. Instead, it involves some type of scheme or abuse of power in order to gain benefits. The other person might “consent” to give up property, however, consent by fraud is not valid consent. You can be found guilty of fraud even if the scheme did not succeed.
