The crime of investment fraud is also known as securities fraud. It is a theft crime that involves fraud by falsifying information to investors and potential investors regarding a company. In many cases the company is made to look as if though is very successful in an attempt to retrieve investments from unsuspecting investors. This is done by misleading information that may include forged financial reports including: overstating assets, revenues and understating costs and liabilities. Investment fraud costs the government millions of dollars per year in lost revenue and is an extremely destructive theft crime. In addition to investors being victimized other unsuspecting employees may be harmed due to a company’s reputation being tarnished or the ultimate shutdown of the company by the government.
