HOW TO REPORT

How to Report

A practical route for documenting facts before filing.

THE FRAMEWORK

Stop saying “corrupt.”
Start saying “elements.”

18 U.S.C. § 1343
Wire Fraud

Scheme + intent + interstate wire + the wire furthered the scheme.

A Zoom hearing is a wire. An e-filing is a wire. Telemedicine is a wire.

18 U.S.C. § 1341
Mail Fraud

If you received a bill in the mail for services that were never provided or were recklessly fraudulent, you may have a complaint.

“The Tom Cruise movie was about this.”

18 U.S.C. § 1503
Influencing an Officer

Corruptly endeavoring to influence any officer in the discharge of their duty — up to 10 years.

“What does that sound like?”
