- Forgery – Creating fake documents or signatures on such documents.
- Blackmail – Threatening to use embarrassing or damaging information about someone unless they provide payment or a service.
- Tax Evasion – Defrauding the Internal Revenue Service to avoid paying what would otherwise be one’s lawful tax liability.
