Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Whether a fraud does or does not “affect a financial institution” is a recurring consideration in federal criminal jurisprudence— that phrase makes a difference not only under Section 982(a)(2)(A) but also in statute of limitations terms under Sections 3282 and 3293(2) (under the latter statute, the normal statute of limitations is doubled "if the [wire fraud] offense affects a financial institution”), and the phrase also bears upon the classification of certain offenses for sentencing purposes and Sentencing Guideline considerations.”
