Legal case and precedent research

Research fraud-related case law, sentencing patterns, and evidentiary standards across jurisdictions. Support case theory development and prosecution strategy with relevant legal precedents.

What are the current federal legal standards for proving wire fraud versus mail fraud, and what evidence types have courts found most persuasive in recent convictions?

Wire fraud (18 USC 1343) elements: scheme to defraud, use of wire communications, intent. Recent circuit courts have upheld convictions based on: email chains (94% of recent cases), financial transfer records, and co-conspirator testimony. Key 9th Circuit ruling (2023): metadata timestamps admissible for establishing knowledge timeline. Mail fraud elements virtually identical — jurisdiction lies wherever communication traveled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which sanctions databases does Compliance Screening cover?

Compliance Screening covers OFAC (SDN and non-SDN lists), EU consolidated sanctions list, UN Security Council list, UK Treasury sanctions, and 20+ additional lists. It also checks PEP databases, INTERPOL notices, and aggregated adverse media from news sources. Coverage is updated continuously.

Can I use company lookup to trace beneficial ownership through multiple jurisdictions?

Company Lookup covers UK (Companies House), US (state registries), and EU company registries. For multi-jurisdictional beneficial ownership chains involving offshore jurisdictions, combine Company Lookup for registered entities with Deep Research for open-source intelligence on opaque ownership structures.

How far back does the SEC EDGAR enforcement action search go?

SEC Filings searches EDGAR, which contains enforcement actions dating back to the early 1990s. The database is comprehensive for SEC matters, but for FINRA and other SRO enforcement actions, the Regulatory Actions tool searches those specific databases. Always cross-reference both for complete enforcement history.

Can these tools help identify structuring and money laundering patterns?

The tools support research and documentation around suspected structuring, but don't analyze transaction data directly — that requires access to the institution's own transaction monitoring system. These tools are most valuable for entity research, adverse media, regulatory history, and SAR narrative drafting.

Are AI-generated investigation summaries admissible in legal proceedings?

Documents generated by Content Repurposer are drafting tools — the underlying facts, sources, and conclusions are the investigator's own work product. As with any documentation, the investigator is responsible for accuracy. Legal admissibility depends on proper sourcing and chain of custody, not the drafting tool used.
