2. ““Check kiting ... involves more than the mere use of a check with insufficient funds in the bank to meet it. It involves a series of acts which taken together constitute a scheme, a studied device, false pretenses built upon a series of false representations designed to lull the banks involved into a feeling of confidence and security. A bad check is given. Money or credit is received from a bank other than the one on which the check is drawn. If credit is taken, that credit is usually drawn on immediately. The check kiter then deposits a check in the bank upon which the first check is drawn before the first check arrives there. The second check is drawn on the bank from which the first money or credit is received. Credit is taken for it and that credit covers the first check when it comes in and possibly additional credit. Then the process is carried on, back and forth, until the scheme is discovered.””

3. “The court noted that “[t]hus, by 1970 the codified section was not devoted exclusively to criminal coverage for false applications in the farming and home construction field. . . . This development leads us to the inference, contrary to the court’s conclusions in Edwards , that the intent of Congress was to incorporate in one codal section all of the business transactions of any of the specified agencies. The statute therefore proscribes not only fraudulent statements given in connection with farm or construction loan [sic] but ‘all undertaking[s] which might subject the FDIC insured bank to risk of loss.’ United States v. Stoddart, 10 Cir. 1978, 574 F.2d 1050, 1053 .””
