Fraud and Embezzlement
The government is vigilant in prosecuting frauds against government programs as well as schemes perpetrated against members of the public. Frauds against government programs can take a variety of forms, including program fraud, embezzlement, false statements to government entities, contract fraud, mail fraud and wire fraud. Frauds against members of the public also vary, and they include investment fraud schemes, bank fraud, credit union fraud, money laundering and securities fraud. The federal government, for example, has a number of agencies with jurisdiction to investigate such crimes, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Secret Service, the Securities & Exchange Commission, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. If there is public money involved, or if the investing public is harmed, the government will find a way to prosecute those it believes are responsible.
The investigation of these offenses is usually protracted, and the government can sweep with a very wide net. If you suspect you are under investigation, you should retain counsel promptly.
