Mail and Wire Offenses

It is against the law to use the mail, wire, radio, or television communication to carry out a scheme to defraud, or to obtain money or property by fraudulent means.  Under federal law, mail and wire fraud carry statutory maximums of 20 years imprisonment, unless the violations affect a financial institution, which then increases the penalty to $1,000,000 in fines or up to 30 years imprisonment, or both.
