Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the defendant's conduct in obtaining the mortgage loan constituted fraud through arglist.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The forged and internally consistent set of documents amounted to special deceptive manoeuvres; the bank was not lightly negligent, so arglist was present and the fraud conviction stood.
Extrahierte Begründung
A whole bundle of false or forged documents from apparently independent issuers created a coherent picture of solvency. In commercial dealings, parties may rely on apparently regular documents; the bank's failure to verify further did not amount to the basic lack of caution needed to exclude arglist.
