If, however, the amount of the check is at least $750, the offense is considered a Level 6 felony.3 Assuming the parties involved were convicted of a crime, the court would then have to enter sentence against them and, ultimately, issue an arrest warrant. If the now convicted fraudster is still in Illinois, Indiana law enforcement authorities should work with the authorities in that state to extradite the guilty party under the Illinois version of the UCEA.4 725 I.L.C.S. 225/2 provides, in part: “it is the duty of the Governor5 of this state to have arrested and delivered up to the Executive authority of any other state of the United States any person charged in that State with reason, felony, or other crime, who has fled from justice and is found in this state.” While this article has examined the Illinois UCEA, the other surrounding states to Indiana have also adopted their respective versions of the UCEA.6 Unfortunately, while the law may support extradition of the fraudsters involved in this case, oftentimes the challenge will be the practical application of the UCEA for what may not be a significant fraud in the eyes of law enforcement, despite being a real loss for the bank. t Continued from facing page.
