Minneapolis Bank Fraud Attorney
In the recent financial crisis, the media has focused largely on harm caused by bank lending practices regarding residential mortgages and home building. While mortgage fraud is a common type of bank fraud, any type of misstatement directed at bank can be construed as crime. This is so even if the bank does not rely on the misstatement in deciding whether or not to make a loan. As a result, federal prosecutors particularly rely on bank fraud charges to make cases against otherwise legitimate corporations and other business entities.
Time is of the essence as these cases can be potentially won or lost in the investigation phases. Call 612-200-0388 or toll free 800-620-2939 for a free initial consultation with a Minneapolis mail and wire fraud lawyer.
Minnesota Currency Crimes and Money Laundering Lawyer
Banking regulations are extremely complex, and in recent years the IRS as well as FBI have taken a great interest in scrutinizing how legitimate business people manage their business's cash flow. Misunderstanding rules regarding disclosure of financial transactions, both in the United States and abroad, can result in honest people facing criminal investigations and charges.
Similarly while most people view money laundering as the process of disguising criminal proceeds, in fact any transaction that law enforcements view as having a concealing effect can lead to criminal charges. Money laundering charges carry steep penalties, even when the underlying funds are completely lawful.
