Practice question: Swindling by Syndicate (PD 1689)

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

Five persons are named in a complaint solely because all are directors. No agreement, participation or formation for the unlawful scheme is established. Is the headcount alone sufficient to prove the PD1689 syndicated form?
  1. Yes, every board is a criminal syndicate
  2. Yes, directorship conclusively proves deceit
  3. Yes, if the corporation has debts
  4. Only the company’s name matters
  5. No; the statutory unlawful syndicate and participation requirements still require proof
