That's not what fraud means. If that were fraud, then any lie to anyone would be fraud.
Not really, unintentional and/or harmless lies wouldn't be fraud.
> That's not what fraud means.
Could you elaborate? What does fraud mean according to you?
Yes really. Intentional or unintentional lies to anyone would be considered fraud if we go by your ideas.
>Could you elaborate? What does fraud mean according to you?
It's not what it means according to me, it's the definition according to the law: "with intent to defraud". Changing or redacting documents without the intention of defrauding is by definition not fraud. QED.
It seems you’ve misunderstood my earlier comment.
> the definition according to the law: "with intent to defraud"
Defining “fraud” with “defraud” feels a bit circular.
