§ 28802 Financial Record Fraud Prohibition

• •You can't lie or fake records to trick people in charge, like bosses or government workers.
• •You can't skip writing down important stuff you're supposed to record.
• •You can't hide, change, or destroy records to fool someone.

You work at a bank and your boss tells you to write down every big money transfer. One day, your friend asks you to pretend you didn’t see their $10,000 transfer so they can hide it from the government.

If you skip writing down that transfer or change the records to hide it, you’re breaking the law. You could get in big trouble, even if you were just trying to help your friend.
