    TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
    PART I - CRIMES
    CHAPTER 47 - FRAUD AND FALSE STATEMENTS

HEAD

    Sec. 1005. Bank entries, reports and transactions

STATUTE

      Whoever, being an officer, director, agent or employee of any
    Federal Reserve bank, member bank, depository institution holding
    company, national bank, insured bank, branch or agency of a foreign
    bank, or organization operating under section 25 or section 25(a)
    (!1) of the Federal Reserve Act, without authority from the
    directors of such bank, branch, agency, or organization or company,
    issues or puts in circulation any notes of such bank, branch,
    agency, or organization or company; or
      Whoever, without such authority, makes, draws, issues, puts
    forth, or assigns any certificate of deposit, draft, order, bill of
    exchange, acceptance, note, debenture, bond, or other obligation,
    or mortgage, judgment or decree; or
      Whoever makes any false entry in any book, report, or statement
    of such bank, company, branch, agency, or organization with intent
    to injure or defraud such bank, company, branch, agency, or
    organization, or any other company, body politic or corporate, or
    any individual person, or to deceive any officer of such bank,
    company, branch, agency, or organization, or the Comptroller of the
    Currency, or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any
    agent or examiner appointed to examine the affairs of such bank,
    company, branch, agency, or organization, or the Board of Governors
    of the Federal Reserve System; or
      Whoever with intent to defraud the United States or any agency
    thereof, or any financial institution referred to in this section,
    participates or shares in or receives (directly or indirectly) any
    money, profit, property, or benefits through any transaction, loan,
    commission, contract, or any other act of any such financial
    institution -
      Shall be fined not more than $1,000,000 or imprisoned not more
    than 30 years, or both.
      As used in this section, the term "national bank" is synonymous
    with "national banking association"; "member bank" means and
    includes any national bank, state bank, or bank or trust company,
    which has become a member of one of the Federal Reserve banks;
    "insured bank" includes any state bank, banking association, trust
    company, savings bank, or other banking institution, the deposits
    of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation;
    and the term "branch or agency of a foreign bank" means a branch or
    agency described in section 20(9) of this title. For purposes of
    this section, the term "depository institution holding company" has
    the meaning given such term in section 3(w)(1) of the Federal
    Deposit Insurance Act.

SOURCE

    (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 750; Pub. L. 101-73, title IX,
    Sec. 961(d), Aug. 9, 1989, 103 Stat. 499; Pub. L. 101-647, title
    XXV, Secs. 2504(d), 2595(a)(3), 2597(h), Nov. 29, 1990, 104 Stat.
    4861, 4907, 4910; Pub. L. 107-273, div. B, title IV, Sec.
    4003(a)(2), Nov. 2, 2002, 116 Stat. 1811.)

HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

      Based on sections 592, 597 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks
    and Banking (R.S. Sec. 5209; Dec. 23, 1913, ch. 6, Sec. 22(i) as
    added June 19, 1934, ch. 653, Sec. 3, 48 Stat. 1107; Sept. 26,
    1918, ch. 177, Sec. 7, 40 Stat. 972; Aug. 23, 1935, ch. 614, Sec.
    316, 49 Stat. 712).
      (See reviser's note under section 656 of this title for
    comprehensive statement of reasons for separating section 592 of
    title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking, into three revised
    sections, and section 597 thereof into two revised sections, with
    the consequent extensive changes in phraseology, style, and
    arrangement.)
      In this section, national bank receivers and Federal reserve
    agents were not included in the initial enumeration of persons at
    whom the act is directed, since the provisions of this section,
    unlike section 656 of this title, are not directed at such
    receivers and agents.
      No changes of meaning or substance were made, except that, like
    said section 656 of this title, the different punishment provisions
    were reconciled, and one uniform punishment provision was adopted.
      The words "shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor" were omitted
    as unnecessary in view of the definition of a misdemeanor in
    section 1 of this title.
      The words "and upon conviction thereof" were omitted as
    unnecessary, since punishment cannot be imposed until a conviction
    is secured.
      Since section 3231 of this title gives the district court
    jurisdiction of criminal prosecutions, the words "in any district
    court of the United States" were omitted as unnecessary.
