Second Circuit: United States v. Bouchard


Crim, White Collar, Fraud

Deceiving a lender which is not federally insured without the intent to deceive its federally insured parent does not violate the statute prohibiting lying to federally insured lenders.

A lender is not, for purposes of the statute, categorically a bank.

In a conviction for conspiracy, absent a special verdict indication of reliance on a particular theory, reversal of an overt act under one theory still allows the conviction to stand, given the other possible overt acts.

No abuse of discretion in denial of new trial for alleged perjury, given deft's successful cross of witness.
