What is the crime publishing and uttering?

Question

my friend got this and he won/t tell me as it was in the papers

Answer 1

uttering usually deals with forging a check or some other forged instrument.

Answer 2

In United States law, uttering and publishing is a crime similar to counterfeiting but with non-official documents. For example, forging a log for personal profit might be considered uttering and publishing. Another example would be the forging of a university diploma. As an example of the law itself, the State of Michigan defines the offense: "Any person who utters and publishes as true any false, forged, altered or counterfeit record, deed, instrument or other writing specified, knowing it to be false, altered, forged, or counterfeit, with intent to injure or defraud is guilty of uttering and publishing."

Answer 3

An example of "Publishing and Uttering" is where a scheme includes the preparation and filing of income tax returns on regular 1040 forms and the request for refunds based on attached W-2 forms showing amounts withheld by employers in excess of the tax due on earnings from such employment.

A large number of such returns bearing fictitious names and addresses are filed.

When the refund checks are received through the mail, they are endorsed and cashed.

There are other forms of this offense but, again, the above is just an example!

Typically a "Fraud" type offense!
