Sec. 2580.412-9  Meaning of fraud or dishonesty.

    The term ``fraud or dishonesty'' shall be deemed to encompass all 
those risks of loss that might arise through dishonest or fraudulent 
acts in handling of funds as delineated in Sec. 2580.412-6. As such, the 
bond must provide recovery for loss occasioned by such acts even though 
no personal gain accrues to the person committing the act and the act is 
not subject to punishment as a crime or misdemeanor, provided that 
within the law of the state in which the act is committed, a court would 
afford recovery under a bond providing protection against fraud or 
dishonesty. As usually applied under state laws, the term ``fraud or 
dishonesty'' encompasses such matters as larceny, theft, embezzlement, 
forgery, misappropriation, wrongful abstraction, wrongful conversion, 
willful misapplication or any other fraudulent or dishonest acts. For 
the purposes of section 13, other fraudulent or dishonest acts shall 
also be deemed to include acts where losses result through any act or 
arrangement prohibited by title 18, section 1954 of the U.S. Code.
