Answer to Question 2

Lesh has violated the Counterfeit Access Device and Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. He accessed the information on student loans without authorization and then changed the amount of his loan balance. In addition, the repayment of only 2800 as opposed to 8200 and the receipt of the payment in full statement was a form of theft. Lesh took funds from the government that did not belong to him. He accomplished the embezzlement in a peculiar way, but he did take government funds.
