Wire Fraud Misunderstandings: Why Intent Matters and What Defenses Are Overlooked | Tarras Defense

Wire fraud charges often create panic because electronic communications are part of everyday life. In this video, David Tarras explains the most common misunderstanding he sees in wire fraud cases: the belief that once the government brings the charge, there are no viable defenses. He breaks down why that is not true and why intent is the central element the government must prove. Tarras clarifies that a text message, email, or other electronic communication is only one part of the offense. The government must show a knowing intent to defraud and must prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. He outlines several potential defenses, including good faith, mistake of fact, lack of intent, and immateriality. These defenses are often overlooked, and many people underestimate how much room there is to challenge a wire fraud allegation.
