Mail Fraud

Mail fraud is the use of the U.S. Postal Service in any criminal attempt to gain money or things of value. Whether it is securities fraud, health care fraud, tax fraud, or any number of offenses, the original crime carries its own penalties. The use of the Postal Service or other, private or commercial interstate carrier raises the crime to the level of mail fraud and brings enhanced punishment, including separate federal prosecution for crimes that would otherwise be matters of state jurisdiction.

Section 1341 of the U.S. Code states that if anyone involved in a fraud or swindle causes the Postal Service to be used, that person shall be fined, imprisoned for not more than 20 years, or both. Violations affecting financial institutions are punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000,000, imprisonment for not more than 30 years, or both. Section 1342 provides that use of a fictitious name or address through the mail is potentially punishable by a fine and/or up to five years in prison.

Simply attempting or conspiring to commit these crimes is punishable by the same penalties as those who actually succeed in committing the offenses.

Because mail fraud is relatively easy to prove, it is also a relatively common additional charge — an additional federal charge that adds complexity to your case. If you are suspected of a white-collar crime through the U.S. mail, your best defense is early, capable representation by an experienced attorney who can act as a firewall between you and investigators, protecting your rights throughout the case.
