Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the check transactions constituted fraud and document forgery
Extrahierter Entscheid
The check submissions did not amount to fraud or forgery because a check does not imply a statement about the underlying business purpose or the drawer's intended use of the funds.
Extrahierte Begründung
The bank employee was not deceived about a legally relevant matter by the mere presentation of formally valid checks; any deception about the economic basis lay outside the check's documentary content. However, false entries on check copies intended for accounting records could still constitute forgery.
