DFK, I am legitimately interested in knowing what charges those are.
Khross gives an excellent example: state sales tax adjustments for internet purchases. Failure to make such an adjustment would be wire fraud, mail fraud, and tax fraud. If the purchase was a large gift for someone, you could potentially put them at risk for tax fraud and both of yourselves at risk for conspiracy charges.
Let's pick something easier: a dating website. If you're a member and fail to follow the EULA
exactly as stated, you've committed wire fraud.
Misrepresent yourself on the phone doing research for school? Wire fraud.
Ever donated to a fund that sends money to overseas aid organizations that built a clinic that was used by Al-Qaeda? You've given support to terrorists, a felony.
Ever transported, eaten, owned, killed, stored, or prepared an animal or plant on a protected list in the US or another country in violation of either US law or the other country's law? I bet you have; federal crime.
Etc. etc.
As to this "averages" nonsense, that's merely a demonstration that an individual hasn't even read the
foreword. You are likely to commit three federal crimes per day, or more, and this author suggests they're felonies.
