What are the elements of a violation of the bank fraud statute?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Bonallo, 858 F.2d 1427 (9th Cir. 1988):

We have not previously considered the elements of a violation of the bank fraud statute, and none of the few cases from other courts of appeals that have done so have suggested the existence of such a requirement. See, e.g., United States v. Blackmon, 839 F.2d 900 (2d Cir.1988); United States v. Goldblatt, 813 F.2d 619 (3d Cir.1987). Bonallo's view also finds no support in the statute's legislative history or in federal decisions defining fraud as used in other statutes.
