non-disclosure
misrepresentation
abuse of position
theft
embezzlement
deception
obtaining an official position by deception
obtaining money by deception
false accounting
pretenses
money laundering
data crime
forgery, fabrication, falsification
extortion
coercion
duress
harrassment
threatening behavior
bribery
corruption
racketeering
tampering with evidence
perjury
obstructing justice
contempt
organised crime
conspiracy
attempt
abuse of court process, especially in criminally instituted and conducted plaintiff or defense defamation litigation.
The term '[criminal] fraud' is avoided unless 'fraud' is an offense expressly so called and cannot be more particularly described; similarly 'fraudulent'. (There is also the risk of confusion with civil fraud.) Offenses against the person are not considered (even though homicide, to take one example, is not unknown in inheritance crime).
Special attention is given to:-
new language, new concepts and new eludications, with special reference to the language, concepts and principles of mathematics and physics
inherent criminality. Someone inherently criminal is criminal regardless of (though certainly taking advantage of the opportunities presented in) a particular case. Criminality delineates the inherent criminal's character generally (a phrase we will explore in detail in the context of a certain real-life case's inheritance crime and tort-defamation issues). The inherentness might have come about genetically, congenitally, otherwise idiopathically and or it might have been induced or derived from something more or less identifiable. Either way, it is organic and elemental to the perpetrator's nature. It is structural. One can speak likewise of the inherent criminal's criminality. It tends to be spontaneous, gratuitous and not wholly and or directly attributable to the opportunities presented by a particular case. (One might also speak more generally of a situation inherently criminal on account of exherent criminality…)
exherent criminality. Criminality that appears to emanate or derive from a particular identifiable outside influence or circumstance can be described as exherent and the perpetrator (whether or not also inherently criminal) can be described as exherently (or responsively, evolutively, adventitiously) criminal
law and fact iterations of each offense: necessary for databases, coding, tracking etc. and in drafting charges, indictments, etc.: if an offense has a number of law iterations, they must be dissected out and catalogued, and form part of the offense's name
types, levels and degrees of perpetration including co-principal and accessory before, during and after each relevant fact and circumstance
locations of perpetration and manifested criminality: inner office, back office, front office, recourse, public relations, support system, etc.
continuum offenses and their dynamics including in relation to not-continuum offenses. The various levels and layers of inherent and exherent original, legacy and fresh continuum criminality (since you ask, criminal non-disclosure, criminal misrepresentation and false accounting, for example, are continuum offenses. The criminal criminally fails to disclose, and goes on criminally failing to disclose: once started and until comprehensively stopped by the genuinely full whole-truth disclosure legally required, he's offending all the time: the original offense continues indefinitely. The original continuum offense then inherently, indefinitely and fractally sprouts a potential infinity of supporting offspring continuum criminality: the very first one is the original; it then sprouts legacy / offspring continuum offenses, which then sprout their own continuum offenses; fresh continuum offenses can attach themselves to the fractally sprouting tree. No such saga arises with a not-continuum offense. Like assault and murder, each offense of theft is committed in a self-contained self-limiting instant and then it's all over. Theft is therefore not a continuum offense: receiving and handling are not its offspring. This is the dynamic botany of continuum offenses and criminality. I trust you're making notes)
T time, the point at which continuum crime stops. It stops only on the convergence of certain factors including whole-truth genuinely full disclosure, confession, expiation, restitution, remediation, compensation, fact-rectification bearing on all relevant victims, situations, issues, assets, liabilities, relationships, transactions and other dynamics. Otherwise continuum criminality continues indefinitely. Conviction of itself has no effect on the continuation or continuity of continuum criminality
horizontal, vertical, diagonal and multi-dimensional stacks, layers etc. of single and multiple continuum and not-continuum offenses. This is the dynamic geology of multiple criminality
saturation:-
a situation saturated by an original act of criminality: that criminality — an event, an episode, continuum criminality, not-continuum criminality etc. — taints everything subsequential. The entire situation and all its aspects are irredeemably, irretrievably, irremediably criminal
the criminality that does the saturating
customer-lawyer dynamics
estate and estate management dynamics; the distinction between them
the importance of bookkeeping, accounting, auditing and primary and subsidiary source material
the locating, collecting, marshalling, securing and analysis of data including the format and content of logs, ledgers and archives
the framing and drafting of indictments, especially of multiple offenses by multiple perpetrators, compound offenses, continuum offenses, etc.: the choice of episodes, junctures in continuum offenses; consideration of law and fact iterations; use of combinatorics, AI, modelling, simulations
honest and dishonest pleas, defenses
admissible and inadmissible primary and subsidiary evidence; competent and compellable witnesses
the expository and forensic use of science, computing, mathematics, artificial intelligence, old-fashioned detective work, etc.; the science of fiduciary forensics and financial fiduciary forensics
the mentality of the stiff-collar criminal and his victim
fundamental procedure including:-
limitation periods
governing law
adjudicating forum
arrest, charge, extradition
perpetrator's purported and actual capacity
situs of relevant things (on the situs of estates, estate assets, heirs, etc. see Inheritance Crime )
contemporaneous and subsequent location, form, value, purported and actual ownership of relevant assets
place of every stage of commission
multiple perpetrators; gangs; organised crime
the effect of the passage of time on liability, criminality
fundamental evidence issues including:-
evidential data by nature, type, origin, relevance
admissibility by jurisdiction, proceeding, party, issue, etc.
admissibility, recycling in y case of:-
x case-tendered evidence: can, cannot be tendered afresh, recycled in y case; is not spent, redundant, obsolete
x case-elicited evidence: can, cannot be tendered in y case; y case must elicit it all over again from [x case]-tendered evidence, cannot be incorporated in [x case]-tendered evidence as if [x case]-tendered evidence
hearsay whether or not the primary source is available
next-best evidence where best evidence, best source, not available
the hostile competent, incompetent, compellable, not compellable witness
defenses, mitigation
criminal jurisdiction; multiple prosecution for the same offenses in multiple jurisdictions.
Jurisdictions will probably include England, federal US, New York, California, Florida, Arizona, federal Switzerland, Geneva, Vaud, Australia, Canada.
This is not a book on general criminal law or practice. It does not discuss professional or regulatory misconduct or ethics (and it has nothing good to say about any irrelevant or otherwise inappropriate consideration of motive).
This straightforward, accessible, readable, interesting book is full of examples, illustrations and graphics. It unclogs, deciphers, decodes, demystifies, clarifies, discusses and pellucidates fundamental relevant criminal law and practice so there can be no mistake, misunderstanding or misconception when reading the author's other relevant publications. Provides the lay and professional reader with the necessary grounding to fully and constructively comprehend, navigate, consider and discuss relevant technical detail. To be read with Lawyer Rackets, Get A Grip, Inheritance Crime, Accounting and Auditing in Inheritance Crime, Defamation War Room, etc.
