Just about every federal case has an allegation of mail fraud and wire fraud. In order to be guilty of that offense you have to use either the mail or the wires and that’s very liberally construed in order to perfect or attempt to illegally obtain money or things of value. In just about every single allegation where there is a federal crime, they allege wire fraud or mail fraud because the statutes and the exposure that it gives the prosecution. They have a tremendous amount of leverage. It can be a 10-year offense or it can be a 20-year offense and they love to allege wire fraud and mail fraud and bank fraud because the exposure and the leverage that it brings.
