FEDERAL LAW THEFT CRIMES
The federal government, through the Department of Justice and the United States Attorneys Office, will normally seek an indictment when the alleged conduct involves a banking institution or other federal institution, or when the amounts of loss are substantial. In recent years, federal prosecutions have targeted white-collar crimes such as insider trading, mortgage fraud, and securities fraud. The federal government has also shown a keen interest in prosecuting medicare fraud. Under federal law, a conviction for a federal theft crime may call for many years in prison. Many high profile cases have illustrated the severe consequences imposed against the perpetrators of complex fraud schemes.
