回复：法律對詐欺犯的最高刑期

您所問的問題在法學院是一到兩年的課程，所以可以說是一言難盡，一般的情況美國通常稱這一類的行為叫 白領犯罪 (Whitr Collar Orime / Offense),這其中又包括了 Accounting Fraud, Bank Fraud, Business Fraud, CreditCard Fraud, Medical Fraud 等 (大約 40 個 類型)， 大部份的犯罪類型都有專門的法規來處理，舉一個例bank fraud有時最重可以量刑到15年 for every count,



個人會建議您從美國司法部的網站開始

(b)
有關商業詐欺的資料請見下列網頁

(c)
同時Federal Trade Commission是一個很好的地方可以找到很多資訊
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/menu-internet.htm
(d)
另外 The United States Fraud Examiner’s Association (USFEA)是一個很好的地方可以找到一些資料

(e)
Code of business Ethics & Conduct

(F)
最後給予您一個法令的例子 (有關 Mail Frauds)
18 U.S.C.A. § 1341
§ 1341. Frauds and swindles
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, or to sell, dispose of, loan, exchange, alter, give away, distribute, supply, or furnish or procure for unlawful use any counterfeit or spurious coin, obligation, security, or other article, or anything represented to be or intimated or held out to be such counterfeit or spurious article, for the purpose of executing such scheme or artifice or attempting so to do, places in any post office or authorized depository for mail matter, any matter or thing whatever to be sent or delivered by the Postal Service, or deposits or causes to be deposited any matter or thing whatever to be sent or delivered by any private or commercial interstate carrier, or takes or receives therefrom, any such matter or thing, or knowingly causes to be delivered by mail or such carrier according to the direction thereon, or at the place at which it is directed to be delivered by the person to whom it is addressed, any such matter or thing, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both. If the violation affects a financial institution, such person shall be fined not more than $1,000,000 or imprisoned not more than 30 years, or both.
