Wire Fraud/Computer Fraud (U.S. v. Czubinski
(a) Briefly explain why the IRS employee who carried out numerous unauthorized searches of taxpayer records was held to be not guilty of wire fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1343 or of computer fraud under 1030(a)(4).
(b) Briefly explain whether (and why) that same conduct might have/would have sustained a conviction under the unauthorized access statute, 1030(a)(2). (or is this just a “no liability” case after Van Buren?)
