It can depend upon the wording of the statutes in your particular jurisdiction. For the charge to made criminally, one would have to be able to prove that the there was a criminal act, carried out, with a criminal intent. (i.e. - Someone deliberately set out, from the outset, with a plan to defraud, and then put that plan into motion and carried it out.)
