Federal Consequences of Wire Fraud

Many people consider fraud to be a relatively harmless form of white collar crime. However, wire fraud and other kinds of fraud may be classified as a federal crime, with penalties and consequences that are lengthy and far reaching. These include:

  • Hefty fines of up to $1,000,000
  • Up to 20 years’ incarceration in federal prison
  • A term federal probation or supervised release
  • Loss of federal benefits
  • Loss of the right to vote
  • Loss of the right to possess a firearm

The severity of an offender’s penalties is largely dependent on the amount of loss caused by the fraudulent scheme. If the fraud involves financial institutions or a presidentially declared emergency or major disaster, for instance, then the maximum sentence may increase to up to 30 years’ imprisonment.

Apart from the above mentioned legal penalties, a federal conviction for wire fraud will also significantly affect an individual’s educational and career opportunities. A conviction may also attach a negative stigma to the offender.
