What constitutes the crime of wire fraud?

Wire fraud is a very commonly charged federal crime, all it requires is allegations of intent to defraud and the use of interstate wire communications, phone, telegraph, anything like that. Federal jurisdiction attaches very often, there are other charges with it, specifically including conspiracy very, very widely used, which is an agreement between two or more people to commit a crime. Wire fraud is serious, the penalties can be many years in a federal prison, and it’s essential that you be properly defended if you are being investigated for or charged with wire fraud.
