As Credit Suisse Group AG sees it, time has run out on New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's pursuit of Wall Street banks for mortgage fraud that helped trigger the financial crisis. Schneiderman sued Credit Suisse in 2012 as part of a wide- ranging probe into mortgage bonds. He claimed Switzerland's second-largest bank misrepresented the risks associated with $93.8 billion in mortgage-backed securities issued in 2006 and 2007.

The U.S. Department of Justice could dub 2013 the year its fight against Medicare billing fraud in Southeast Michigan yielded the first real payoff. Last year, the Detroit Medicare Fraud Strike Force, deployed here from Washington, and a locally organized Health Care Fraud Unit of prosecutors together brought charges in fraud schemes billing more than $380 million to the federal program. That's more than double the bad billing amount charged in any preceding year.

Every year, people fall prey to tax scams. The IRS wants you to be safe and informed - and not become a victim. "Some people are victimized by tax scams, while some get involved after being lured in by false promises of big money," said IRS spokesman Dan Boone. Taxpayers who get involved in illegal tax scams can lose their money, or face stiff penalties, interest and even criminal prosecution. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
