The Supreme Court recently granted certiorari in Ciminelli v. United States, which asks whether the “right to control” theory of fraud — depriving a victim of potentially valuable economic information necessary to making economic decisions — states a valid basis for federal wire-fraud liability. Ciminelli fits into a long line of cases involving the federal mail and wire fraud statutes, with the Supreme Court often narrowing their scope. In this seminar, the recent history of fraud cases will be reviewed and the ways in which Ciminelli may affect corporate investigations and white-collar practice moving forward will also be discussed. This CLE course features streaming video and downloadable audio presentations from a seminar by the Houston Bar Association (HBA) on March 3, 2023. Some of the subjects are:


  • What is Fraud and What Constitutes Property?

  • What is Non-Property Fraud and What are the Limitations?

  • "Honest-Services Fraud"

  • Review of Pertinent Case Law and Current Legal Issues

  • Impact on Investigations and White-Collar Practice

  • Major Takeaways
