If the loss to the victim(s) exceeds
$10,000, conviction might be
deemed a “fraud” AF, or if term of
imprisonment of at least one year is
imposed, might be deemed a “theft”
AF. But see Nugent v. Ashcroft, 367
F.3d 162 (3d Cir 2004) for
arguments that a conviction under
this section would only be an AF if
term of imprisonment of at least one
year is imposed and if record of
conviction reflects loss to the victim
in excess of $10,000.
Would probably not
be considered a
CIMT.
