Let's say a company knowingly sends someone a check for $30,000, and knows that the check is no good and it bounces. That company, let's say, sent it across state lines. Which crimes might that company's owner be responsible for?

Because you know the law. I am not asking for personal advice, just for objective information about which crimes that situation would involve.

Which theoretical crimes or which charges some prosecutor, somewhere, might actually care enough to pursue?

What was the payment for? Goods or services? Already completed/sent, or to be exchanged in the future (after payment was received)?

Let's say it was a franchise fee that, in a contract, had agreed to be returned in full, but the check bounced and the company knew it would?

How do you know the company knew it would? They could just be in trouble and not balancing their books right?

Let's say they had a long email correspondence promising, several times, to send the check, then admitting they lied, then telling the victim's lawyer that they had no money to send, then sending a bad check anyway?

If you are represented by an attorney I cannot ethically discuss this matter with you. See Model Rules of Prof'l Conduct R. 4.2. Thank you.

I am just objectively asking what laws are on the books. I a, not asking for any actual legal advice.
