Consequences of Conviction for Financial Crimes in Utah
For many Utah financial crimes,
the level of the offense is determined by the amount of money or value of the property actually
taken. For other financial crimes (
insurance fraud,
for example),
the level of the offense can be based on the amount of money a person
attempted to obtain - even if no money or property is actually received. If the amount is under $1,500, most
cases
will be filed as
misdemeanors. If the amount is or exceeds
$1,500, the case may be filed as a
felony. Second degree felony charges may be filed if the amount involved is $5,000 or more.
