About Teachers Pay Teachers. TeachersPayTeachers (TpT) was founded in 2006 by Paul Edelman, a former NYC public school teacher. TpT's mission is to make teachers lives easier by creating the world's first open marketplace where teachers buy and sell original teaching materials. The end result, every one wins, especially the students.
Mail fraud is a federal crime by nature, as using the postal service to advance a criminal attempt necessarily involves the federal government. There is a relatively clear statute in existence that defines mail fraud, and each of the two required elements is explained below.
Other laws dealing with insurance fraud are the federal mail fraud statute, which prohibits the use of the U.S. Postal Service to defraud or obtain money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representation or promises, and the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute and state laws patterned on the federal statute.
