Question

Market owner Lucy buys 12 cans of baby formula off of Mark--Lucy plans to sell them in her market even though she knows (or should have known) Mark got the cans of formula by illegal means. Lucy has committed the crime of:

a. larceny

b. receiving stolen goods

c. arson

d. fraud

Answer 1

Ans: D - fraud

Since the motive behind this is to have a profit or financial gains by deception because Mark got these cans of the formula by illegal means and Lucy has used this for her financial gain only.

A - Larceny means a crime in which a person has taken or done theft of the personal property of another person or a business which is not done here hence this is incorrect.

B - receiving stolen goods

in this case, it is not being cleared that things are stolen or not since this is incorrect.

C - arson means when a person has intentionally or deliberately set the fire to property which is a criminal act also hence this is also incorrect.
