Is intent to injure or defraud sufficient to support a conviction?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Lung Fong Chen, 393 F.3d 139 (2nd Cir. 2004):

intent to injure or defraud is sufficient to support a conviction. See Valansi v. Ashcroft, 278 F.3d 203, 210 (3d Cir.2002) ("Because the [scienter] element is stated in the disjunctive, it may be shown either by intent to injure or intent to defraud."); United States v. Angelos, 763 F.2d 859, 861 (7th Cir.1985) ("[I]t is important to distinguish between intent to injure and intent to defraud; either will do, and they are not the same."). As we explain below, because we conclude that the instruction given required the jury to find that the defendants intended to injure GEB, we need not also consider whether the instruction adequately instructed the jury to find that defendants intended to defraud the bank.
