It doesn’t matter if the accusations of federal securities fraud are against individuals or corporations; they can result in severe criminal charges. Under 18 U.S.C ¬ß1348, it’s illegal to defraud anyone in connection with a security or commodity or obtain property through fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises.
This statute targets multiple fraudulent activities involving securities from insider trading and churning to misrepresentation, pump and dump schemes, accounting fraud and outsider trading. In addition, other types of securities fraud include theft from investors, embezzlement, abusive short selling, Ponzi schemes cryptocurrency crimes or even lying to a corporate auditor.
Defendants must beware that under 18 U.S.C. § 1348; a conviction for federal securities and commodities fraud results in severe criminal penalties. Individuals convicted of trading crimes related to commodities or securities could get up to 25 years imprisonment and pay hefty fines. Attempting or conspiring to commit such crime carries similar punishment as well.
