Bank Fraud

Bank Fraud is the criminal offense of knowingly executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme or artifice to defraud a financial institution, or to obtain property owned by or under the control of a financial institution, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representation, or promises.

 

Bank Fraud is sometimes perpetrated from the inside, by a bank manager or other employee. This constitutes embezzlement; that is, someone entrusted with funds or bank property appropriates it for his or her own use and benefit. A bank employee may even borrow funds during a personal emergency and then attempt to replace the missing funds undetected, a move which seldom goes undetected.

 

Bank fraud is also perpetrated from the outside, when investment bankers, entrepreneurs, CPAs, accountants, attorneys or other professionals are perceived to have defrauded a bank and/or its clients from their funds. There are many bank fraud defenses.

 

It takes an attorney with the confidence and experience of a former prosecutor to properly deal with authorities when it comes to defending you against these  charges. If you, a friend or family member have been accused or charged with bank fraud, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Bellizia immediately at 973-743-2220. Criminal matters are not problems that will go away when ignored. Early intervention  may achieve outstanding results, and will be instrumental to the outcome of your case.
