Practice question
Two persons agree and decide to commit Section4 financing. Before any funds are transferred, their communications establish the criminal agreement beyond reasonable doubt. They argue Section5 conspiracy is impossible without a completed financing offense. Which is best?
- Conspiracy requires a completed financing crime in every case
- Mere friendship would be sufficient instead
- Every discussion is automatically conspiracy
- Section5 separately punishes the proved agreement and decision; completion of the intended financing is not indispensable to that conspiracy offense
- The agreement is automatically a lawful contract
