Ogden Fraud Lawyer

In today’s world you can open the paper and find story after story of white collar crimes including fraud and embezzlement. When the economy takes a turn for the worst peoples incentives to get involved in criminal activity go up and instead of going to the seedy underbelly of society find it they simply start taking money from their work, or devising schemes to get people to invest in their fake start-up. The byword for white collar crimes is often fraud, however, fraud by itself is not necessarily a criminal offense. The most basic definition of fraud is lying to get something of value, and that idea is ingrained into a number of Utah criminal statutes that make fraud a crime when it takes place in relation to insurance, credit cards, and other conduct.
