There is hardly anything that doesn't evolve the internet one way or another. Haven't all the frauds become wire fraud now? Does this legislation still make any sense?
- andreareina 5y agoI'm not bothered. It's still fraud, and sometimes it's the only thing that sticks (c.f. the Holmes trial).
- tyingq 5y agoIt is odd that it's up to 20 years per count, but what was actually done ranges from something like a misdemeanor to robbing someone of their life savings.
- andreareina 5y agoThat's the statutory limit. The actual sentence depends on the nature and magnitude of the crime, according to the sentencing guidelines. https://www.popehat.com/2013/02/05/crime-whale-sushi-sentence-eleventy-million-years/ https://www.popehat.com/2013/02/05/crime-whale-sushi-sentenc...
