This punishment came from reasons. After AMRE going public, the company have the obligation to publish its financial reports but its performance did not meet expectation. The investigation by SEC shows that Robert took the first step of this scam, fearing the sharp drop of AMRE’s stock price because of the poor performance of company. He abetted Brown, to practice three main schemes to present a false appearance of profitable and pleasant financial reports.

Computer Fraud and Abuse Act prohibits anyone from intentionally damaging a computer without authorization while, prohibits unauthorized users from causing damage recklessly, and from causing damage and loss negligently (Zetter, 2014).

In regards to this case study where a hotel manager orders 1,000 dollars’ worth of sheets from a sales representative of a linen company and a dispute arises between them. Can the Statute of Frauds provide a defense to the Lawsuit by the hotel? I believe that it can based on the statue for goods (The Statute of Frauds and Contract Law.) They signed the memo and faxed it over to the linen company, as long as the dispute didn’t happen before ten days then the linen company is bound to the contract. Statute of frauds states that it is a binding contract if the buyer or purchaser of the goods signs the memo and gives it to the seller and the cost or amount is over 500.00 (The Statute of Frauds and Contract Law.)

As our technology changes so do we, and so does the world of criminal activities. There are people out there who can steal from you using computers and the internet. What do we have that can protect us from these types of criminal actions? There several different laws that protect U.S. citizens from cybercrime, one that comes to mind is The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). There are seven subsections, but we are going to focus on Subsection 1030. Subsection 1030 is theft of finical information, this law protects citizens from cyber trespassing, threats, damage, and fraud (Cornell Law School, 2017).

Copyright infringement has become a serious issue in today’s world. Owners of this material lose money every time an image or any material is used illegally. The Internet has brought about more opportunities for someone to steal copyrighted material.

Security fraud is a white collar crime that involves the deception of investors or the manipulation of financial Markets (FBI, 2005). Security fraud is a broad topic that covers many different aspects of white collar crimes that individually can stand as their own form of indictable crime (FBI, 2005). Due to the broad reality associated with security fraud, when considering the different case studies, the Martin Shkreli case was the best option. Mr. Shkreli was a pharmaceutical executive who was known by the general public and by the Media for his high pricing in life saving drugs (Smythe and Geiger, 2015). Mr. Shkreli, dubbed "Bad Boy" by the media, had been charged with several charges pertaining to fraudulent schemes such as insider trades, manipulation of market to illegally redistribute money by misappropriation of assets or defrauding investors and potential investors to fund pharmaceutical companies that acted as hedge funds (Smythe and Geiger, 2015). The list of charges and crimes that Mr. Shkreli go on and on, and it is for that very same reason Mr. Shkreli’s case was the most ideal case to choose. Mr. Shkreli 's Case is great representation of how security fraud has many faces. Another reason why Mr. Shkreli 's Case is the ideal case is due to the fact that it will allow for a more depth analysis on why individuals commit fraud. In one of the articles I will be annotating as one of the 5 sources, the psychology and sociology behind why individual
