What Constitutes Leveraged Buyout Fraud?

Leveraged buyout fraud typically involves deceptive practices during the acquisition of a company using significant amounts of borrowed money. Some common examples include:

• Misappropriating funds intended for the buyout

Potential Criminal Charges and Penalties

LBO fraud cases are often prosecuted at the federal level. Depending on the circumstances, you could face charges such as:

• Bank fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1344)
• Mail fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1341)

Convictions for these offenses can result in lengthy federal prison sentences. For example: Additionally, you may face steep fines and be ordered to pay restitution. A conviction could also devastate your professional reputation and future career prospects in the financial industry.
