What Is Wire Fraud?

Wire fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1343 is a federal charge covering any scheme to defraud using electronic communications — email, phone, text, wire transfers. It is one of the most broadly applied federal statutes. Prosecutors use it in investment schemes, mortgage fraud, business email compromise, and any fraud that crossed state lines electronically. Because it is federal, bail is set by a federal magistrate, the documentation requirements are stricter, and the timeline moves faster than state court.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is federal wire fraud bail different from state bail?

Federal bail is set by a federal magistrate at an initial appearance, usually within 24–48 hours of arrest. The magistrate considers flight risk and danger to the community. Bail amounts are often higher than state court, and the documentation requirements for source-of-funds hearings are stricter.

Will there be a PC 1275 hold on a wire fraud case?

Almost always. The prosecution argues that any money you have access to may be proceeds of the alleged fraud. Getting the hold lifted requires a hearing with documented proof of the source of funds — bank statements, employment records, property history, gift letters.

Can Chad post bond on a federal case?

Yes. Chad is licensed to post bail bonds on federal cases in Southern California. Federal bonds require additional documentation and move on a faster timeline — call as early as possible.
