Fraud is defined as “an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual The specific legal definition varies by legal jurisdiction. Fraud is a crime, and also a civil law violation” .
If the local news sources are to be believed - fraud is rampant across our fair city! Last year a private hospital was found guilty of fraud by a jury after some extremely unsettling circumstances were presented. According to the lawyer representing the family claiming fraud - the hospital tried to cover up the death of their loved one by removing his heart without their permission during an autopsy. The family claimed that hospital employees did this as a means of covering up their complicity in his cause of death. The hospital denies any wrongt doing and intends to appeal.
Last year there was also a case of mortgage fraud that made its way through the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. It alleges that the defendants “recruited and compensated individuals with good credit to act as borrowers in applications for residential mortgage loans”.
Other examples of fraud allegations? Voter fraud in Harris County, a ‘college-mill’ that will provide you with a university degree for a small fee without forcing a person to actually college classes, and government waste and fraud. Finally, a local watchdog group has even uncovered fraudulent actiivity in the public school district - allegedly.
If anyone aleges you have committed fraud the you should seek the advice and support of expert legal counsel.
