Conspiracy to commit fraud

A conspiracy to commit fraud occurs when two or more people plan together to deceive someone, usually to gain money or avoid a loss, by intentionally misrepresenting the truth or concealing facts. Even if they don’t complete the fraudulent act themselves, agreeing to participate in the scheme makes them criminally liable. This legal charge emphasizes shared intent and collaboration in dishonest, deceptive conduct designed to unlawfully benefit at the expense of another.
