<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bearze34, post: 2058044, member: 71706&quot;]I think the theory of &quot;mens rea&quot; would apply here. If you are a layman who sends a coin to an expert for analysis and he says it is legit you had no state of mind as far as committing a crime. Writing a bad check is a crime. If you check your balance and in between the check of the balance and the writing of the check an identity thief clears out your account you have not committed a crime even though you wrote a bad check since your mentality was to write a payable check. You would have strict liability for the money but no criminal act.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
