At the very best it's gross negligence on a scale never before seen.

When does gross negligence become fraud? Does it require intent? Do they need to show intent? Basically show he knew what he was doing even though he plays dumb?

Gross negligence or fraud cannot be disclaimed?

Really the question in my mind is whether it’s: negligence, gross negligence, or fraud…

Which exact federal crime do you mean by ‘negligence’ exactly?

The various fraud statutes require intent.


You've heard of criminal negligence, right? Where someone is so outrageously bad that it can only be intentional, with something important at stake that gets hurt.

Gross negligence?

The legal term is gross negligence, and it's worse than it sounds.

Sounds like the definition of gross negligence to me.

Gross negligence at best?

Generally gross negligence can't be disclaimed but otherwise, you agreed to it.

gross/negligence

At some point gross negligence becomes indistinguishable from malicious behavior.

Gross negligence

Intent sure, but negligence?

Intent matters, but so does negligence & incompetence.

There is such a thing as criminal negligence.

> Did he do something criminal or was this a bad accident?

Even is something is an accident, gross negligence is still a thing and may be criminal depending on the consequences of said negligence.


At what point does that become criminal negligence?

but is it negligence? At what point should it be considered intentional?

"Gross negligence" means you really really should have known of the risk. But it's still a contradiction to say that someone was deliberately grossly negligent.
