Wire fraud ?

[polaris]

Do you know what means "wire fraud" ?

Kelly : What kind of trouble are you in ?

Dory : Oh taxpayers theft, and five hundred million counts of wire fraud ?

I know that this Dory fraudulently billed government agencies. Does that mean that Dory created false counts in telecoms network ?

Thank you in advance.

I think it means committing fraud by using a computer or electronic means to steal money from other peoples accounts

Maybe you're right.

Or maybe she bypassed the official network...

Anyway, thank you very much.
