Summary The episode explores the classification of certain crimes as "commercial offenses" under U.S. law, especially those impacting financial institutions and commercial entities. These crimes include counterfeiting, fraud, and regulatory violations, which are considered disruptive to economic stability and public revenue. Highlighting the principle of corpus delicti, or the "body of the crime," the episode explains that some crimes, such as regulatory breaches, are pursued even without a direct victim, categorizing them as "victimless" due to their impact on commerce. Using 27 CFR § 72.11 and the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution, the episode demonstrates how commercial crimes are defined broadly to include a range of offenses that can affect interstate commerce. It further examines the legal distinctions between terms like "individual" and "person," showing how these can apply to both natural persons and legal entities, such as corporations or financial institutions. Banks, for instance, are recognized as both "persons" and "trusts" in commercial law, emphasizing their central role in the financial system. The episode concludes by explaining how this legal framework protects the commercial landscape, with the federal government empowered by the Supremacy and Commerce Clauses to regulate offenses impacting interstate commerce, thus ensuring the security of financial systems and commercial transactions.
