New York Wire Fraud Attorney

Wire fraud is a serious federal crime that involves the use of interstate "wires" to transmit information for the purpose of committing fraud. "Wires" may include television signals, radio transmissions, or internet lines. The specific aspects of this offense include: devising a scheme that is meant to defraud others of their money or goods, and transmitting pictures, words, sounds or other information via interstate wire in an attempt to carry out the scheme. Whether the scheme is successful is not a part of a federal wire fraud charge. Only the creation of the scheme and the sending of information in an attempt to carry out the scheme apply.
