Wire fraud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thats slightly more accurate considering the situation. No one here used the postal system seeing as nothing was shipped.
"Whoever, having devised or intending to devise any scheme or artifice to defraud, or for obtaining money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, transmits or causes to be transmitted by means of wire, radio, or television communication in interstate or foreign commerce, any writings, signs, signals, pictures, or sounds for the purpose of executing such scheme or artifice, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both."
Twenty years for 5 large... Thats the greatest thing I've ever heard. Here you'd have to commit first degree murder to get 20-25 years, and thats the maximum sentence.
