Fraud on The United States of America

“There is no question of the general doctrine that fraud vitiates the most solemn contracts, documents, and even judgments.” - United States v. Throckmorton, 98 U.S. 61 (1878).

In general, fraud is proven by showing that a defendant’s actions involve five separate elements:

1 - a false statement of a material fact;

2 - knowledge on the part of the defendant that the statement is untrue;

3 - intent on the part of the defendant to deceive the alleged victim;

4 - justifiable reliance by the alleged victim on the statement; and

5 - injury to the alleged victim as a result.
