Craig,
Since you brought it up, this is what I wrote. Am I wrong?
My assumption is you were not thinking when you put this statement in
writing for a few hundred people to see:
don't usually write checks with no funds to back them up, but... no guts, no
glory!!!
Virginia law is this:
*The crime is committed when the maker delivers (utters) the check*. The
jurisdiction of the offense is where the check is delivered. For example, if
a person who lives in Fairfax County writes a bad check to a merchant in
Alexandria, the crime occurred in the City of Alexandria.
Under Section 18.2-181 and for punishment purposes, a person is guilty of
larceny when the bad check is written. Therefore, a check written for the
amount of *$200 or more constitutes Grand Larceny, a felony* , and a check
written for less than $200 constitutes Petit Larceny, a misdemeanor
So you just admitted to a felony, wether or not the check clears next week
