Is this considered Income Tax Fraud?
The FTB knows if he's been collecting unemployment benefits from EDD. If he lies about that, they already know that it's a lie so there's nothing for you to report, whether it rises to the level of fraud or not. The authorities are only interested in information that they do not have access to and could not reasonably discover on their own. Your post hasn't revealed anything relevant to tax fraud, nor has it revealed anything that the FTB would not be able to figure out should they wish to know. Not paying an established tax debt is NOT tax fraud. Tax fraud involves making false statements about income or expenses, often combined with active measures to hide taxable income from detection, in order to falsely reduce the amount of tax that is due. Nothing in your post would indicate that this is the case. At most he's failing to pay a legitimate debt and in the US that is NOT a crime. His debt will continue to climb as penalties and interest are tacked on. At some point he'll be forced to seek a job for survival and at that point the FTB will swoop in and levy his wages to force repayment of what he owes. Either that or he will wind up homeless on the streets. If he's collecting unemployment benefits -- your post does not say that he is, only that he told the FTB that he is -- and is not actually seeking employment the odds are good that he will be caught when they audit his unemployment claims. The odds of an eventual audit are high if he's been collecting for more than a few months. When he's caught, he'll be forced to repay any illegally claimed benefits and future benefits will be cut off. That will probably motivate him to get off of his @$$ and find work, particularly if it comes down to a matter of survival.
What is considered welfare fraud?
I know someone who is on welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, with five kids, and doesn’t work. She has a male friend who buys her trips to exotic places and buys her cars, but doesn’t pay her bills. I personally think that is a slap in the face to hard working taxpayers. My question would be, is that welfare fraud?
Is this considered mail fraud?
ive done this and it worked, but is it considered fraudulent, or illegal, or a federal offense or anything? i put the address i want the mail to go to as the return address. i put a fake address where i would have normally put the address i want the mail sent. this address does not matter, because the postmaster sees the return address, and no stamp, and sends the mail there thinking the postage is simply inefficient. i do this from collection boxes and not from my own homes mailbox. what do you think? provide proof if you can. thanks
Is cheating considered fraud?
Should be in relationships and business…If you from start of relationship don’t say “ i will fuck every other woman besides you” then why have a relationship and call each other boyfriend or girlfriend then? Interesting how many people would openly admit that sex is more important for them then the love to a partner?Some people love their cities, countries, money, jobs, sex life more then they love their partners or other people … they in reality love “comfort” bc real love is when all comfort would end.

Is this considered poshmark mail fraud?
If anyone doesn't know what "poshmark" is, it's an iPhone app specifically for selling and buying fashion. If I buy an item, I have to pay an additional $7 just for shipping. The buyer gets an email from poshmark with the prepaid postage to my address. If she then CANCELS the order on the app, I get my money back, yet she still has that pre paid shipping label. If she does happen to mail it, using that shipping label, will that be considered mail fraud? And what if I do the same exact thing, for my buyers so they don't get charged? Is that mail fraud...? Please help thanks
Can you be considered an accessory to fraud if you had no knowledge the person was going to commit the crime?
Yes you are ignorant of the crime, because you didn't have knowledge of the crime. And also in no way did you intend for the product to be used in that manner. So if you sold it legally, did not lie about the product, and some customer of yours committed an illegal action with it, how could you know or be considered liable when the crime is committed. A guy could buy a hammer from a hardware store and kill someone with it. Does that make the owner of the store guilty to accessory to murder? The owner didn't know what the guy was gonna do with it unless he asked him or the guy told him. And most things have many uses, legal and illegal, but can still be legally sold. so how do you know what is the intent of the buyer. Head shops sell pipes for tobacco uses, but those pipes can also be used for illegal drugs which is known, but the head shop doesn't get into trouble when a person uses it illegaly after the sale, unless the customer tells them theyre gonna smoke ille

To what extent is a research result considered a fraud?
Ethics in data analysis is rather complicated. People have even written papers on the topicCheck Ethics and Data AnalysisResearch ethics: 3 ways to blow the whistleIn general, as described for example in the guidelines provided by “Nature” Submission Guidelines , the goal of any publication is that the results must be reproducible. If nobody can reproduce your results following your methodology, then, this typically implies “fraud.”Every Data Descriptor that contains statistical analyses or data-processing steps must explain the statistical methods in detail either in the Methods or the relevant figure legend. Any special statistical code or software needed for scientists to reuse or reanalyse datasets should be discussed in the Usage Notes section of the Data Descriptor. We encourage authors to make openly available any code or scripts that would help readers reproduce any data-processing steps (see our code availability policy). In addition, authors must ensure that the version of the data described and analysed in the Data Descriptor is permanently available so that others can reproduce any statistical analyses.If you have concerns, you should discuss them with your Ph.D. advisor.
